Tennis first aid certificate
If you want to become an LTA Accredited Coach, you’ll need to hold a valid first aid certificate that is no more than 3 years old. If your first aid certificate expires whilst you are accredited, you should renew as soon as possible before your next renewal.
In order to maintain a national standard and to comply with the insurance regulations, your first aid training must be one of the following:
- Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) - 6 hours
- First Aid at Work (FAW) - 18 hours
- Paediatric First Aid (PFA) - 12 hours
Please note: an online first aid course is not valid for LTA Coach Accreditation, and training must be delivered face-to-face by a recognised provider in Great Britain.
If you're a coach, you can submit your first aid certificate to us via your Coach Hub.

- Name of training organisation (or provider)

- A statement that teaching was delivered in accordance with currently accepted first aid practice
