The LTA Instructor Summative Assessment is a real-life assessment where the eligible candidate submits a video of a 30-minute group lesson in their home venue to LTA Learn to be marked by a member of the LTA Qualification Assessor team.
Real life coaching assessments (assessing you in a real-life coaching environment) uploaded to LTA Learn via video are an intrinsic part of the LTA Qualification Pathway.
LTA Instructors will be trained to deliver group coaching, with excellence, at any venue and, as part of the qualification, will be required to undertake a group coaching assessment.
After the completion of the core training element of the course (knowledge tests, online learning and video-based tasks) you will be required to book a Summative Assessment which is booked via the LTA Course Search Tool. The lesson will be conducted in a real-life setting, coaching real players, and the video will be uploaded to LTA Learn for the LTA Qualification Assessor team to grade.
The combined score of your continuous assessments (40%) and your final assessment (60%) will determine your final grade. You will also need to complete a one-day Elective as part of the LTA Instructor qualification, but this does not count towards your final grade.
Once the Core Training has been completed and your assessment has been marked by our LTA Qualification Assessors you will be notified whether you have passed the course or will require a reassessment. You will receive your results and action plan within 2 weeks of submission.
Booking a Summative Assessment allows for ONE submission - if you receive a not yet pass mark you will be required to book another Summative Assessment.
When you sign up to the relevant Readiness Test you will access it through LTA Learn - further guidance will be available within the course itself including how to submit your video and top tips.
