Welcome to Your UEFA C Licence Journey

Duration: 2:00 (Video)

I’ve completed the UEFA C Licence and created this course to give you practical guidance that goes beyond the official handbook. This isn’t about spoon-feeding you answers - that defeats the purpose and shortcuts your development as a coach. Instead, you’ll get real-world insights aligned to course outcomes and general coaching common sense.

What You’ll Learn in This Course:

• Core UEFA C Licence structure and expectations
• Practical strategies for each assessment area
• Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
• Tools and templates that actually work
• Real examples from successful candidates

Additional Resources: There are some further videos about the UEFA C Licence located in the classroom.
