What is coach education?

The coach education element to our post-16 courses has been meticulously designed to provide our students with the unique opportunity to cultivate essential skills and attain qualifications spanning various aspects of the sports world, be it coaching and teaching, officiating, or performance support.

Our students will actively engage in weekly practical coach education sessions and gain invaluable work experience, all facilitated by FA and UEFA-certified football coaches. Our curriculum is aligned with the FA’s England DNA philosophy, ensuring a seamless progression for our students as they undertake FA Qualifications.

Students also are provided with an insight into coach education in a variety of different sports to broaden their coaching understanding.
