Most are from the UK, but the courses do have an international flavour with 25% of all students coming from outside the country.

In nearly all cases students operate in the grassroots of the game, volunteering their time to support the development of the game and the testimonials below highlight the quality of courses as described by the students…

Chris Rafael Sabater – Former Community Coach at Chelsea FC, London, UK
"'I am a professional football coach working in schools and clubs and have travelled all around the world. I have really enjoyed the literature in this course and it has made me think about how I should address my coaching sessions. I want to progress in the field of sport psychology and this course has whetted my appetite for this subject."

Nick Morgan, Billericay Youth Football Club, Essex, UK
"I completed the final assessment on Monday night and just wanted to say thank you to all those involved for what I found to be a most enjoyable and informative course. I have already made use of some advice given through the forum which worked really well and hope to continue to get help and advice when needed. Thanks again and good luck to all fellow learners."

Anthony Lormor, Ex-pro at Newcastle United, now coaching at Sutton Town, Notts, UK
"I would just like to say thank you to everyone involved in this programme. I received my certificate this morning! Thanks again."

Shayne Hall, Coach of Tigers Junior Football Club, Pudsey, West Yorkshire, UK
"Just passed the final assessment...it was a good experience to learn this way and hopefully more qualifications will become available in this format. Thanks."

Michelle Chai, Deputy Director Media & Communications, Asian Football Confederation (AFC)
"I find it absolutely brilliant, especially the setting of the whole situation (as a coach in a club), rather than just a boring dry course. This is a great resource.

Tracy Scott, Coach for Desoto County Soccer Association, Mississippi, USA
"Wow what a wonderful course! Thank you for the time and effort to make this possible."
