This module provides the learner with an opportunity to better understand the educational requirements associated with an athletic training program. In addition, students will have the opportunity to learn about the requirements for certification as an athletic trainer. In addition Chapter 4 provides a good overview of educational resources for the AT student. This chapter may be beneficial no matter you choice of major.
