The ATPCA Graduate Tennis Professional Training Course has been very helpful to me. I have played tennis for over ten years. Through this two-day intensive study, I have a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of tennis, and I have more confidence in future coaching.

I really enjoyed the Graduate Pro Course. Tracey was an amazing trainer, and despite all of the other participants being much more experienced and skilled Tennis players than I, Traceys delivery meant I was able to understand what she was talking about, and I learnt a huge amount of relevant information. Equally, I could tell the other participants also gained valuable insight. The on-court sessions were truly invaluable and extremely informative, and honestly, I couldnt fault the course. We had a great group of people in the course and everyone readily shared tips. Well done to Tracey

Just completed 2 courses comprising of Graduate to Advanced Pro. The courses are very well run with staff members having great in-depth knowledge and the ability to teach equally to all levels. I found the courses to be informative, fun and each component was broken down well to allow you to analyse each stage with ease. Would highly recommend to those that we like to learn for a career or simply to brush up on what they already may know. Well done team APTCA
