Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Football
 
This course is intended for people over 18 years of age who have obtained the Level 2 Certificate and wish to coach teenagers and young adults.
  
Students enrolling on this course must send a copy of their Level 2 External Assessment action plan indicating that they are suitable for the course.
 
The course will be conducted in English and students will be expected to deliver their practical assessment in English. The practical element is physically demanding and students should be reasonably fit. It is expected that students attend all tutor contact sessions.
 
Students will learn how to coach in:
Functional practices – a player or small group of players working in a relevant area of the pitch
Small sided game (8 v 8) – directional game practice
Phase of play – team units using the full width of the pitch
 
They will be expected to demonstrate technical and tactical knowledge.
 
The internal assessment component will include the satisfactory completion of course tasks, two practical assignments, four written examination papers and a mock assessment. Practical and portfolio support sessions will be organised as part of the initial course of training. Only students who have completed satisfactorily the internal assessment requirements and the mock assessment will be recommended to undertake external assessment.
 
Stand alone external assessment sessions will be organised at regular intervals throughout the year.  If the assessment is unsuccessful the assessor will recommend a date by which a re-assessment should take place.
