Tennis Australia Club Professional Master – Diploma of Management

The Tennis Australia (TA) Club Professional Master – Diploma of Management (the Diploma) has been developed by the Tennis Australia Coach Development and Community Tennis Departments in partnership with DeakinPrime, the corporate arm and registered training organisation of Deakin University.

The Diploma is designed to train experienced coaches and volunteer administrators in the skills necessary for the effective business management and administration of tennis facilities. The introduction of the Diploma encourages change in the current environment and assists the transition of club coaches and volunteer administrators into club management positions.

Tennis Australia is partnering DeakinPrime to enable dual outcomes:

1. To provide an educational pathway for coaches and existing club administrators to gain core business competencies to take up tennis club management roles.

2. To facilitate a Club Professional Master accreditation that also provides a Vocational qualification, namely the Diploma of Business.

The Diploma will be delivered in three modules, each module made up of face to face workshops and a workplace project.

Module 1 – Managing the Business This module will comprise a three day workshop and a project that will be completed and assessed prior to the second module. This workshop will be held 14 – 16 March 2011.

Module 2 - Managing People, Partners and Finances The second module will comprise a two day workshop and a project. This workshop will be held 6 – 7 June 2011.

Module 3 – Building a sustainable future The third and final module is also structured as a two day workshop. This workshop will be held 5 – 6 September 2011.

All modules will be delivered at Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre, Rod Laver Drive, Sydney Olympic Park.

This is to be discussed with the Course Coordinator and unit Trainer prior to the delivery of the coaching course.

As a minimum, hold a current Basic (Level 1) level first aid qualification (refer to expiry date). Tennis Australia recommends candidates complete the Tennis Australia first aid course tailored for tennis coaching.2

Course assessment All units in this course involve assessment. Course trainers will implement flexible assessment techniques, particularly within the written components, to allow those with special needs to undertake an alternative form of assessment.

Number of course participants The maximum number of participants in the workshops will be 20.

Resubmissions are graded Competent (COT) or Not Competent (NC). Participants deemed not competent and who wish to continue to gain the Diploma are encouraged to re-enrol into the module.
