Once you enrol, you’ll receive a welcome email with everything you need to get started with your level 3 sports massage course. You’ll then confirm your preferred course date and location so we can book you onto your practical workshop.

We suggest leaving around 4–6 months between each qualification. This gives you time to absorb what you’ve learned, put your skills into practice, and build confidence before moving on. As you progress, your level 4, entry level and foundation acupuncture courses will be added to your dashboard — unlocking each step as you’re ready.

You are covered by Breeze Academy’s insurance while attending all practical, face-to-face workshop days as part of your course. If you wish to practice your skills outside of the workshop environment, we strongly recommend you obtain student insurance. Student membership is available through organisations such as the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and the Sports Therapy Organisation (STO).

And throughout the journey, you’ll have full support from our expert team to guide you every step of the way.
