Coach Tutor Qualification
LTA Tutors inspire, train, and develop the next generation of tennis and/or padel coaches.
The Coach Tutor Qualification (CTQ) is for experienced, successful, and driven coaches with an excellent track record in coaching players, growing programmes, and leading and developing teams. You must have a passion for coaching and be committed to help other coaches achieve their goals.
LTA Coach Tutors are expert practitioners across a wide range of coaching populations and environments and, ideally, they also possess a demonstrable level of expertise in a subject relevant to the coaching profession.
On successful completion of the CTQ in padel or tennis, you’ll be:
- Educated in the principles of androgogy
- Trained to deliver presentations with confidence
- Adept at creating great learning environments
- Added to the LTA’s Approved Tutor List for padel or tennis
- Able to deliver LTA tennis or padel qualifications and CPD
Please note, LTA Assistant, Instructor, and Coach qualifications are delivered by our Coach Development Centres. These centres contract directly with tutors from our Approved Tutor List. Successful completion of the course will make you eligible to deliver qualifications but is not a guarantee of work.
There are currently no CTQ courses planned for 2024. Please complete the Expression of Interest form at the bottom of the page if you are looking to attend a padel or tennis CTQ in the future.
The full cost of the next edition of the Coach Tutor course will be clearly communicated to coaches once it has been finalised.
