Managing Parents
Absolutely. The FA runs events all over the country and for all levels. To explore events please visit our national CPD events page here.
If you're an FA Level 1 or 2 learner, continuous professional development hours are optional and so there is no longer a requirement for licensing.
If you're a UEFA qualified coach, however, you are required to complete 15 hours of CPD every three years to maintain your licence, which The FA recommends is best achieved by completing 5 hours per season
the session collective
The Session Collective is a resource for coaches run by former FA National Coach Pete Sturgess.
This free resource is focussed on establishing good practice within the coaching environments for our young children, but also contains lots of practice ideas to help coaches who are busy and may not have time to plan.
Additionally, the website hosts a series of podcasts with specialist guests from across child development and our professional academies.
