Licensed to Coach
The FA is making some very exciting changes to the service and support provided to coaches in the game. The FA Coaches Association will be disbanded and a new scheme called The FA Coaches Club for Licensed Football Coaches will be launched.

The FA Coaches Club for Licensed Football Coaches is due to be launched for the 2011 Season on the first August.

Through commitment to continued professional development (cpd), up-to-date learning and adherence to good practice, Licensed Football Coaches will stand for reliance, trust and credibility within the game.

What is an FA Licensed Football Coach?
An FA Licensed Football Coach has met the criteria necessary to be given a licence to coach from the FA. This means the coach will:

  • Commit to a minimum level of CPD (Continous Professional Development) every year

  • Retain in-date Safteguarding Children and Emergency Aid certificates.
