Education 

To become a certified athletic trainer in the United States, you must first earn a degree from a college or university with an accredited athletic training program, then take and pass the exam administered by the Board of Certification (BOC).

If you already have a bachelor’s degree in something other than athletic training, you have two options:

1. You can earn a second bachelor’s degree from a school with an accredited program at the bachelor’s level.

2. You can get a master’s degree in athletic training from a university with an accredited entry-level master’s program.
