The Level 2 Sports Trainers course is a progression from Level 1. It is designed to give the
active sports trainer the flexibility to structure the course to suit their own needs by offering
optional modules in addition to a compulsory core module. Current Level 1 Sports Trainers
accreditation, 12 months experience and 50 hours practical field experience are pre-requisites
for entry into the Level 2 Sports Trainers course.
The core module is designed to increase the sports trainer’s knowledge of how the general
principles of sports medicine relate to sport, as well as introducing new topics such as
psychology of injury, medical conditions, the sports trainers role in rehabilitation of injury
and advanced crisis management.
In addition to the compulsory core module, thirty five hours of listed modules, from a minimum
of five different topics, must be completed to gain accreditation as a Level 2 Sports Trainer.
The modules consist of topics such as:
- special groups in sport (women, children, disabled, veterans)
- drugs in sport
- advanced taping techniques
- coaching courses
- fitness leaders courses
- team management
- administration
Upon successful completion of the course, the Level 2 Sports Trainer will receive a certificate
and identification card.
