‘Continued Professional Development’ (CPD)

 

All members of FACA will be aware of the requirement to be committed to ongoing learning, through a range of complementary activities, delivered through FA Learning, County Football Associations, 1st4Sport approved centres, or other approved partners.

Attendance of any Coaching Qualification is the starting point for continued learning, and we are sure you will agree there are now comprehensive opportunities and resources in place to support FACA members to increase and develop their footballing knowledge.

The ‘Refresher matrix’ indicates the minimum required CPD hours for each Level of qualification.

Calling all UEFA ‘B’ Licence, UEFA ‘A’ Licence and Pro Licence Holders

In accordance with FACA and UEFA requirements, all Level 3, 4, and 5 coaches are required to complete the CPD requirement with effect from the period 1 January 2007 - 1 January 2010. Your attendance at appropriate training will be tracked and recorded through use of the FA Learning Course Management system, therefore all courses, and registrations will be centralised through FA Learning, or its appointed personnel.

Calling all Level 1 and Level 2 Coaches

In accordance with FACA requirements, all current holders of the Level 1 and 2 Certificates in Coaching will be required to complete the CPD elements with effect from 1 June 2007 – 1 January 2010. The process for evidencing and tracking your attendance of CPD activities will be shared with all members prior to the 01 June 2007 threshold.

All coaches will see, that there are two mandatory fields required in Levels 1, 2 and 3 therefore you are required to select additional activities to fulfil the CPD requirements for your appropriate level.

We are confident that the CPD opportunities outlined reflect our commitment to working towards the UK Coaching Certificate requirements of fulfilling a Licensed Coach Scheme over the next few years. This will ensure that all FACA members become both ‘Licensed’ and ‘In date’, thereby enhancing the status of a ‘qualified coach’.
