Qualifications
Our performance coaching qualifications have been specifically designed to help coaches with the demands of working in performance environments with performance players.
The LTA coaching qualifications pathway starts at a Level 1 and progresses through to a Level 5. From Level 4 onwards the pathway splits, with Level 4 and Level 5 options for both a club coach or specific performance focused qualifications.
The Senior Performance Coach course (SPC) trains candidates in the core performance coaching frameworks along with equipping them with the knowledge and skills required in performance player development.
Our two level 5 qualifications require a deeper level of thought from the coach, linking to their coaching practice and exploring their existing knowledge and skills. The course assits coaches in forming new insights on what strategies work for them and their players, and in what situations and why.
All our qualifications require coaches to demonstrate on their application their relevant experience in performance coaching and application does not guarantee acceptance.

The LTA Senior Performance Coach (SPC) qualification (Level 4) is for coaches committed to developing their on and off court coaching skills beyond Level 3 Coach competencies, preparing candidates who’ll typically be working with players on the National Player Pathway.
The Performance Coaching International Junior Course (Level 5) has been built around the challenges and demands coaches experience within the Regional Performance, National Performance and International Junior stages of the Player Pathway.
The Performance Coaching Pro Course has been built around the challenges and demands coaches experience within the International Junior, Pro Transition and Pro stages of the pathway. In each of these stages, the central figure is the player, and this course acknowledges the importance of the coach's role in supporting the player to move through these transitions.
