Tape and Wrapping Workshop

This program was designed by Nancy Spence an Athletic Therapist with more than 20 years experience covering sports and teaching first aid.  These workshops are a must for coaches and team “trainers” looking to offer more for their athletes.  This workshop also fulfills the Ontario Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) requirements for a certificate course.

Taping and Wrapping Workshops come in 4-hour or 8-hour formats. These workshops include introductory level athletic taping and wrapping for the prevention and management of sport injuries. This is a hands-on workshop, supported with a participant workbook.

New for COVID times, there is a 2-hour on-line option covering the key theory areas of this program.

This course can be linked with any first aid course.  A Standard First Aid certificate or higher is recommended in conjunction with or before taking this course.
