Program Overview

Physical activity is a necessary part of daily life, but this same activity—be it in sport, leisure or work—can also lead to injury in any person, regardless of their fitness. An Athletic Therapist and Trainer (ATT) focuses specifically on musculoskeletal injuries and their prevention, assessment, treatment and rehabilitation.

The Athletic Therapy and Training programme will equip you with the medical knowledge, clinical abilities, problem-solving skills, confidence, and practical experience you need to become an ATT. The course’s graduates are also recognised as ATT’s who can communicate and work professionally with patients.
