Virtus Leisure Management is an approved LTA Coach Development Centre.  

Our organisation offers LTA qualifications at Assistant, Instructor and Level 3. We also offer CPD courses for coaches from the LTA Official Course Menu as well as our own Virtus CPD courses. These range from off court topics such as managing a team of coaches, to on court workshops on a variety of subjects. 

At Virtus we aim to share the excitement of tennis through innovation and excellence. We are proud of our partnership with the LTA to deliver high quality qualifications and CPD. As a result, our team of tutors strive to develop themselves to continue to raise the standard of our courses and we challenge ourselves to provide better communication for our learners on courses. At Virtus we look to build on relationships started on courses to become a central point for questions or help a coach may need.
