Athletic Trainer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a athletic trainer in Colorado?

To become an athletic trainer in Colorado, you must obtain a state license through the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA). Licensing requires graduation from a CAATE-accredited athletic training program and a passing score on the Board of Certification (BOC) exam. Most Colorado employers require at least a bachelor's degree, and a growing number of clinical and collegiate roles prefer candidates with a master's degree in athletic training.

How much do athletic trainers make in Colorado?

Athletic trainers in Colorado earn a median of about $64,580 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $53,390 for the lowest 10% to over $86,170 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire athletic trainers in Colorado?

Companies currently hiring athletic trainers in Colorado include Vasa Fitness, Life Time, and UCHealth, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's mix of professional sports franchises, large health systems like UCHealth, and university athletic departments creates steady year-round demand for licensed athletic trainers across the state.

Which Colorado cities have the most athletic trainer jobs?

Aurora, Boulder, and Colorado Springs have the most athletic trainer openings in Colorado. Denver leads because it anchors the state's largest health systems, professional sports teams, and university programs, while Colorado Springs draws consistent openings through its military installations and Olympic and Paralympic training complex, and Boulder's concentration of university athletics and sports medicine clinics sustains demand in that corridor.

Are there remote athletic trainer jobs in Colorado?

Yes, but they're rare. About 3% of athletic trainer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the hands-on, on-site nature of most athletic training work. The small portion of remote-eligible work tends to involve telehealth consultation, injury prevention program development, or administrative and compliance roles within larger health systems.

How can I get hired as a athletic trainer in Colorado with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is completing a graduate assistantship or clinical rotation with a Colorado university athletic department, which transitions directly into staff roles. UCHealth and Intermountain Health run new-graduate onboarding programs for clinical athletic trainers, and many candidates move laterally from physical therapy aide or strength and conditioning assistant positions. Completing your BOC credential and DORA licensure before applying gives you a measurable edge over unlicensed candidates at every level.

Where can I find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Colorado?

You can find and apply to athletic trainer jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across health systems, collegiate programs, and sports organizations. Search the listings to find roles that match your credentials and experience, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
