Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and TTA Coaching Accreditation

Table Tennis Australia Ltd (TTA) offers the opportunity for coaches to provide evidence of their current level of competence or prior learning for TTA’s consideration to align coaches to the appropriate level of the TTA Coaching Accreditation System. RPL is the assessment process that measures and evaluates the coach’s formal and/or informal learning experiences.

Current TTA coaches seeking for re-accreditation do not go through this RPL process. Please refer to the TTA Re-Accreditation Requirements. 

Candidates are required to provide evidence of their competency that demonstrates their skills, knowledge and experience and provide details of any relevant Table Tennis Coaching qualifications
