Coach Tutor Qualification (CTQ)
LTA Tutors inspire, train, and develop the next generation of tennis 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 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, you’ll be:
- Educated in the principles of andragogy
- Trained to deliver presentations with confidence
- Adept at creating great learning environments
- Added to the LTA’s Approved Tutor List
- Able to deliver the LTA Assistant, Instructor, and Coach qualifications (L1, L2, L3)
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.
Interested applicants will be notified when the next course dates and venues are confirmed.
