Athletic trainer certification (ATC)
A master's degree is now required, and only about half the people who hold the certification are employed as athletic trainers.
Kāore he whika utu whakamātautau.
Mō ngā marama o te whakaakoranga, i te wā katoa. Ka roa ake te wā wātea.
Kāore he wā whakamutu - kāore he tau tōtika hei whakamutu. He iti iho te utu.
Ki te kore e taea te whakamātautau i te whika i runga ake nei, kāore e whakaputaina e tātau he whakaaro, engari he whakataunga.
He aha te take kāore he tau tōtika i tēnei wāhi?
Athletic training programmes sit inside CIP 51.09 with physician assistant studies, respiratory therapy, surgical technology and several other allied-health courses, and the Department publishes no split. The blended master's figure for that code is dominated by physician assistant programmes, which cost and pay far more, so applying it here would be a number about a different profession wearing this page's label.
Since 2022 the entry-level degree has been a master's: two years of accredited graduate study including clinical placements, after a bachelor's, then the BOC examination.
Certification is maintained on a two-year cycle with continuing education and an annual fee; most states also require a licence.
He tokomaha nga tāngata e pupuri ana i tēnei, he tokomaha hoki e mahi ana i roto i te āpure.
Ko te tau e waiho ana te whika utu i waho
O te 58,646 people holding a current BOC athletic trainer certification i tatautia i roto 2025, Ko te pūkete mahi ā-rohe e whakawāteatia ana mō 30,500 Ka mahi i roto i nga mahi e hiahiatia ana mō — 52.0%. Ka noho 28,146 Kāore e whakaarotia e te kaipupuri.
Ko taua rerekētanga he tepe o runga, ehara i te mokatere kore mahi. Kāore te pupuri i tētahi tohu i te ōrite ki te rapu i tētahi mahi me ia. Kei roto i te rerekētanga ko ia katoa i neke ki te whakahaere, te whakaakoranga, te hoko, te arotakenga, he mahi pāhono rānei i ngā pūkete raraunga ā-rohe i raro i tētahi mahi rerekē; ko ia tangata i whakamutua, i mahue rānei i te whakawhiwhinga; ko ia tangata e mahi ana i te wā wātea, i te kaimahi, i te mahi takitahi rānei i tētahi āhuatanga kāore i te whiwhi i te uiuinga mahi; me te tangata katoa e pupuri ana hei aho tuarua ki tētahi atu mahi. Nā reira ko te rerekētanga ko te CEILING i te maha o ngā tāngata whakaakoranga kāore e mahi i tēnei āpure - he iti iho te tau tūturu, ā, kāore he tatau o tētahi tangata kāore i te mahi. Ko te mea e whakatū ana te takirua ko te rahi o te pūrere ko te tau utu i whakaputaina, ko te mea kāore he wāhi utu e whakaatu ana ki a koe.
Ko nga taha e rua he tau tūturu. Ko ngā kaipupuri i tētahi rā ki te mahi i tētahi wā — ko te momo ōrite o te nui, ko te take anake ka taea te wehe i ngā mea e rua.
Ko te mea kei roto i taua tatau: People holding the ATC credential at the end of 2025. The Board of Certification is the only certifying body for athletic trainers in the United States, so this is a person count rather than a licence-record count. It includes people not currently practising and a small share based outside the United States — BOC put those at 6.2% and 1.4% in its last published demographic breakdown, which covers an earlier cycle and cannot simply be subtracted from this year's total.
Ko te kaituhi: people holding a current BOC athletic trainer certification = 58,646 (Standing count of people holding the credential, calendar year 2025) · Board of Certification for the Athletic Trainer, 2025 Annual Report · kitenga
The gap here is one of the wider ones on the site for a clinical credential, and part of it is structural: athletic trainers employed by schools and universities are sometimes filed under teaching or coaching occupations, and those working in industrial and military settings are filed elsewhere again. BOC's own last published breakdown put about 6% of certificants as not currently practising.
Ko te mea e whakaae ana ia kia mahia e koe
Ko te utu e pā ana ki te mahi, ehara i te tohu. Ko ēnei ngā mahi e whakaaetia ana e ia.

Ka pānui tēnei hei whakataurite ki tētahi mahi noa iho, ehara i te āhua o tōmu mahi. He aha taua raina taketake, me te mea e waiho ana i waho

Ko te mea e hiahiatia ana e koe i mua i te tīmatanga
- A bachelor's degree with prerequisite coursework
- A place on a CAATE-accredited master's programme
- A pass in the BOC examination
Kāore i te mahi tēnei mēnā
- you need predictable hours — the work follows the sports calendar, which means evenings, weekends and travel
- you are expecting the master's requirement to have raised the pay; it raised the cost of entry and the pay sits below the typical US job for a graduate credential
