This Level 3 Diploma course  is the entry standard for the Equine Sports Massage Association (ESMA), the primary, long establishedand well respected membership body for career Equine Sports Massage Therapists.  The course is delivered from September each year at a Training and Event Centre near Tiverton, Devon by Animal Therapy Solutions Limited and runs for 7 contact weekends (a total of 400 TQT hours).

“Having thoroughly perused the modules, lecture content, learning outcomes with assessment criteria, assessment procedures, records and structures; I found the proposed training to be of a very high standard.  It has a strong physiotherapy bias and contains the relevant anatomy & physiology elements required for such a training course to sit alongside the practical ‘hands on’ massage content. I have no hesitation in recommending the course.”

• 5 GSCE passes at A-C including English (or equivalent)
• Applicants must be 21 years of age at commencement of the course
• An approved certificate (ie ITEC) in human massage at Level 3
• 3 years experience in a professional yard (supported by references)*

*Applicants who do not strictly meet this criteria should contact Helen Tompkins to discuss their experience levels.
