Our advanced soccer coaching course is designed for students who are ready to step up and think, train, and coach at a professional level.
Led by a UEFA B–licensed Head Coach, former Irish underage international, and supported by elite tutors with real-world coaching and performance expertise, this programme immerses you in the advanced skills and knowledge required to excel in modern football.
With a strong blend of high-performance coaching, applied sports science, and industry-focused modules, you’ll learn how top clubs operate, how to analyse players and teams, how to communicate effectively, and how to support athlete development both on and off the pitch.
