Learning outcomes include:

Be able to provide general coaching advice across physical, mental, tactical, and technical domains
Plan and deliver structured lessons from official LTA Adult and Junior coaching products e.g., Cardio Tennis, Tennis Xpress, LTA Youth

LTA Instructors will be trained to lead group coaching at any venue. The course learning outcomes are delivered in the context of beginner and intermediate group coaching, across adults and juniors. However, the course covers basic knowledge and skills that are applicable for any age of player and any level of player. LTA instructors will typically be deployed as part of a large programme, schools out-reach initiative, leisure centres, or smaller venues that do not have an LTA Coach (Level 3) available.

Course duration and structure

There are two separate components to LTA Qualifications; Training and Assessment.

Training: The LTA Instructor course consists of five days of face to face training time, which are separated by a minimum of four weeks (to provide time for 8 hours’ work experience & coursework completion). For the LTA Instructor, the five days of learning are split into core and elective days. There are four days of core training and a half day elective (coaches choose what specialisation they do for their fifth day). The two elective options are: Great Group Coaching: 30+ Drills and Games to End Your Tennis Lessor or Great Group Coaching: Repetition vs Realism. Core and elective training is booked (and paid for) separately.

Assessment: Final assessments are conducted during a real-life lesson of your choice, at a tennis venue of your choice. Assessments are recorded by you (using smartphone equipment) and then submitted virtually by video upload. For more details please see the Assessments page.
