Real feedback from coaches and academy staff who use FCI in their day-to-day work
Three levels, one continuous pathway — from reading a player to leading a team. Take them one at a time, or start the full pathway and save.
Learn to see. Structured observation, interpreting behaviour, and building a hypothesis instead of a verdict.
Learn to guide. The conversation, the inner game, training design, and matchday — built around the Player Development Plan.
Learn to lead. Team culture, group leadership, matchday leadership, and managing the season, staff and environment.
See. Guide. Lead. All three levels, one continuous curriculum, one price — the fastest way through the full FCI coach pathway.
No. Each level is self-contained and can be taken on its own. That said, the Pathway is built to build on itself, so most coaches get the most out of it by going through Level 1, 2 and 3 in order.
Access is granted for 12 months from the date of purchase, so you can work through the material at your own pace, on your own schedule.
Yes. You'll receive an FCI certificate of completion for each level you finish, which you can add to your coaching CV or club profile.
No. Level 1 is built as the entry point for the whole Pathway, so it assumes no prior badge or coaching license. If you're already an experienced coach, you'll still get value from the structured frameworks, but nothing is required to start.
Yes. We offer club and academy packages for staffs of five or more coaches. Get in touch and we'll set up a licence that fits your organisation.
