Non-accredited training

The course has a pre-requisite of Introduction to Sports Taping prior to registration.

The course is suited to Coaches, Athletes, Massage Therapists and Sports Trainers who require a higher level of education when it comes to taping an athlete for injury prevention and injury management.
