Level 2 Sports Trainer Re-Accreditation
Membership
We encourage all working Sports Trainers to become a SMA Sports Trainer Associate or SMA Member. Both packages include our exclusive Sports Trainer insurance which provides cover for public liability, products liability, professional indemnity and personal accident cover, plus numerous other benefits that support you in your work – from community level right through to elite sport.
These packages are only available to accredited SMA sports trainers (either Level 1 Sports Trainer and/or Level 2 Sports Trainer).
Take advantage of a 30% discount on your Sport Trainer Associate package ($105 instead of $150) when purchasing an already discounted “course plus membership bundle” at the point of registration to any of SMA’s Sports Trainer or Sports Trainer Reaccreditation Courses on offer. Once the bundle is purchased, membership discount will be applied to all future Sports Trainer or Sports Trainer Reaccreditation Course registrations.

Certificates
Upon completion of this course, students will receive a Sports Medicine Australia Level 2 Sports Trainer accreditation valid for 3 years.
Entry
To enrol, students must be a minimum of 16 years of age. Children under 16 may be accepted on a case-by-case basis upon application to their local SMA Office (in the state where the course is to be held). This ensures the student has the necessary skills to undertake training and assessment requirements.
Delivery Mode/Duration
SMA now offers two methods for re-accreditation, so you can choose the options that suits you.
OPTION 1 – Internal Accreditation
This option allows sports trainers to attend a 4-hour face to face re-accreditation course.
OPTION 2 – External Accreditation
This option allows sports trainers to re-accredit external to a course by being assessed on a set of competencies by an approved health care professional. Please contact your local SMA Office if you wish to undertake an external re-accreditation.
Assessment
Students will be assessed as follows:
- Lecturer observation and practical assessment
- Written assessment
Course Resources
Students are provided with the following course resources for internal re-accreditation:
- Sports tape & associated materials
- Stretcher
Students who choose to undertake an external re-accreditation must source the required resources themselves.
