The level 3 coach qualification course is for people who want to work full time within the tennis coaching profession. On successful completion of the coach qualification candidates will be trained to:
- Coach beginners and improvers in groups and as individuals
- Understand the basics of business management
- Understand the competitive structure in the UK
- Manage the work of level 1 and 2 coaching assistants
The course is 12 days broken down into 4 modules of 3 days plus a video assessment. The breaks between modules will allow coaches time to undertake 3 x 9 hours of coaching experience totalling 27 hours.
WimX will deliver days 1-12 of the core training and the LTA will conduct assessments, which will require a separate booking and payment process. Assessments can only be booked once the core training days have been completed.
Candidates must attend all the sessions of the course and pass all elements of assessment to be successful.

If work is submitted after the submission deadline date we will charge a late marking fee of £50.
The deadline to complete and achieve the full course without having to pay a fee to re-register is three years from the start date.
