Football Federation Australia has established a Coach Accreditation Structure within the National Coaching Scheme.
A fresh range of Coach Education Courses are available to assist in the development of coaches at all levels of ability in modern coaching and training methods.
Football Federation Australia's Coach Education Department, in conjunction with the Australian Coaching Council and representatives from State Federations, has developed the new programs after extensive research into the needs of coaches and players throughout Australia.
A two-pathway system has been introduced, catering for both Community and Advanced coaches.
The Community courses start with the Grassroots Certificate and progress to the Junior, Youth and Senior Certificates.
The Advanced courses are approved by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and are the A, B and C certificates. These courses are recognized by Europe’s governing body, UEFA.
Football Federation Australia is committed to the delivery of quality courses.
A valid, reliable, consistent and fair assessment process is assured by Football Federation Australia through a process of standardisation and in-service training of Course Instructors.
