You will need to be successful on the Senior Coach Readiness Test in order to be eligible to apply for the LTA Senior Coach (Level 4) qualification. However, if you have, or have ever, held a rating of 5.1 (4.1 for the SPC) or higher you do not need to complete the LTA Senior Coach Readiness Test and can progress straight to application.
About the Senior Coach Readiness test
The Senior Coach Readiness Test consists of eight video tasks, which can each be captured separately on video using a smart phone. They should then be uploaded to YouTube (you will need a YouTube account) as an unlisted video, and then submitted to LTA Learn for assessment. In addition to uploading your tasks, LTA Learn also has supporting videos that outline the process and requirements in detail to help you through the process.
Booking a Readiness Test allows for ONE submission - if you receive a not yet pass mark you will be required to book another Readiness Test.
