Course duration and structure:
This qualification is made up of two separate elements – Training and Assessment

Training: Four days of face-to face (plus one elective) training time, separated by a minimum of four weeks (to provide time for eight hours of work experience and time to complete coursework)

For the LTA instructor course, the five days are split into core and elective days. There are four days of core training, and one day of elective training. Candidates can choose from one of the following two elective options: Great Group Coaching: 30+ Drills and Games to End Your Tennis Lesson or Great Group Coaching: Repetition vs Realism

*Electives are booked and paid for separately.

Training prerequisites: Candidates must:
• Have a current or previous rating of 7.1 (post 2003) or higher, a current singles WTN of 25.00 (male) or 27.00 (female) OR successful completion of an Instructor Readiness Test. The Readiness Test can take up to two weeks to be assessed once submitted – please allow sufficient time for this when signing up for the course.

Please note that it may take at least eight weeks for a DBS to be processed, and you must hold a valid LTA DBS certificate upon booking.

Assessment: Final assessments are booked and paid for via the LTA. Final assessments are conducted using a real-life lesson of your choice, at a tennis venue of your choice. Assessments are recoded by you and then submitted virtually. For more details, please see the LTA Assessments page.

Assessment prerequisites: Candidates must:
