FA Level 1 Club Coach

This is the UK's most popular coaching course and is the ideal introduction to coaching for all coaches with little experience or knowledge. The course is open entry and participants do not need any experience to take part, just an interest in coaching and the motivation to improve their skills and understanding.

FA Level 2 Club Coach

If you’re a coach with a few seasons coaching experience, you may wish to start at Level 2, as this is still an open entry course, although we do recommend that those taking part without the Level 1 qualification do have relevant coaching experience.

More on Coaching

By getting on the coaching ladder, individuals have the opportunity to progress up through the various FA Coaching qualifications while constantly enhancing their skills and knowledge. We hope that this will not only improve the ability of the individual but also the performance and enjoyment of the team.

Experience is essential for a coach as so much can be learned from the coaching field whether it is working with other coaches and learning from them or coaching different groups of players with mixed abilities.

A successful coach should always be open to new ideas and want to continually improve their individual skills and knowledge of the game. Kent FA courses offer the perfect solution to all coaches who aim to improve their skills, knowledge, experience and enjoyment of the game.
