Yve Level 4 Diploma in Sports Massage

Take your massage qualification to the next level with the Level 4 Sports Massage Course

The Yve Diploma Level 4 in Sports massage therapy is focused towards those seeking to gain employment as a sports massage therapist providing sports massage to prevent and manage injury.

The Yve diploma is matched against the National Occupational Standards set for our industry.

A fully professional, accredited and insurable course, especially designed to take the stress away from the formal nature of our iTEC/VTCT qualifications.

The Yve diploma is taught in exactly the same way and includes all modules that are required in the formal qualification, we have minimised unnecessary assignments that do not serve any purpose as a therapist and have omitted the formal end exam, as many students find this process stressful. As qualified assessors, we use the assessment process throughout your training with a final assessment at the end of the course.

Many students have completed this course in the UK and Europe and are enjoying successful careers, either self employed or working for spas and wellbeing centres.

We are able to offer the diploma course at a lesser price than our iTEC qualifications due to us  not having to pay their enrolment and yearly fees, allowing us to give you a more reasonable course price.
