This course is delivered entirely online through a combination of live webinars, e-learning, on-demand resources and community groups where you can chat and share ideas with other coaches who are taking the course.

The course costs £160, and includes ongoing support from England Football for another 11 months after you’ve finished the qualification which includes live webinars, advice and access to our online community, so you have all the help you need to put what you’ve learned into practice.
