LTA Instructor (Level 2)
Where will it get you?
The LTA Instructor course is designed to build from the LTA Assistant Course, and allows successful applicants 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.
Training and Assessment Pre-Requisites
Training Pre-Requisites
For optimal course quality and impact, the LTA Instructor has prerequisites to ensure that the course demands are aligned with your existing knowledge and skills. For LTA Instructor, these are:
- A current or previous rating of 7.1 (post 2003) or higher 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.
- Hold the Level 1 Coaching Assistant, LTA Tennis Assistant or LTA Assistant qualification.
- Be LTA Accredited or hold a DBS/PVG Enhanced Check with Child Barred List certificate applied for in the past 12 months through LTA/Tennis Scotland (volunteer certificates cannot be accepted). A DBS can be accepted if you are on the Update Service - see here for more details. 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.
If you book your course and fail to have these pre-requisites in place before the start date, you will not be able to attend. Refunds are not given in this circumstance.
Assessment Pre-Requisites
- Candidates must fully complete five training days (core and elective) and all coursework tasks before they can book their final assessment
- Hold a valid certificate of competence in either First Aid at Work (FAW) or Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW), or have successfully completed the OFQUAL Level 3 in First Aid prior to assessment. This is to ensure you are safe to practice upon qualifying.
- Candidates must fully complete five training days (core and elective) and all coursework tasks before they can book their final assessment. Your assessment will be conducted by the LTA, not WeDoTennis, and will need to be booked and paid for separately once you have completed the course.
