Our certifications across Tennis, Pickleball and Padel are made up of three components: Teaching Assessment, Skill Assessment, and Knowledge Assessment.
The great part about the PTR pathway is that if you do not pass one element, you have the option to retest, and we can help and support you on your journey to do so.

"After coaching for 12 years, it was time to update my knowledge, and it was refreshing to see new methods of coaching and delivering tennis compared to when I first earned my coaching badge!"
"I came into the PTR course unsure of what to expect, but I’m leaving with so much more than just new knowledge I’ve gained a sense of purpose as a coach and a renewed passion for learning."
"The skills I’ve developed on this course are invaluable. I feel fully prepared to tackle new challenges and explore areas of coaching where I previously lacked confidence. The tutor was incredible knowledgeable, patient, and always encouraging!"
