For this year's Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Football course we have added an initial Level 3 Prep day. Attendance at the Prep day is mandatory if you would like to progress onto the initial Level 3 course. You will not be allowed onto the initial Level 3 course without attending the Prep day and being signed off by the GFA Lead tutor Nigel Quincy.

The purpose of this day is to:

• Select the maximum number if suitable candidates in the fairest manner possible from the anticipated high number of applications.

• Ensure all candidates are aware if the requirements of the course.
• Ensure all candidates who attend the initial week are at the appropriate stage of their coaching development.
• Review the action points from each candidate's Level 2 action plan.

Please note, you have signed up to attend the initial Level 3 Prep day and not the Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Football. Attendance on the Prep day does not automatically sign you onto the Level 3 course.

Candidates attending the Prep day must ensure they have their level 2 action plan to discuss with the tutor.

The minimum age to attend the Prep day is 17 years of age.

Once candidates have attended the Prep day, they will then be sign posted into the Level 3 course by our Lead Tutor, Nigel Quincy. The level 3 dates are: -

The total cost for the Level 3 course will be £550.00. However, this includes an initial "bond" of £100.00 making the real cost of the course £450.00. The bond of £100.00 will be returned to you when you attend your final assessment, having completed all the necessary paperwork and completed the log book, irrespective of whether you complete the course at this assessment or you need to be re-assessed at a later date. If you do not attend an assessment, you will not have the bond returned to you.
