If you could share this with the clubs and promote through your social media platforms it would be great. 


As part of the release of the New Coach Education Pathway which I have attached the New Visual, we are introducing coaching courses based on the following three key areas:

1: Reality Based Learning – Where coaches can enter the pathway now at the age specific / level they are working. 

2: Competency Model, in which every course now has specific entry and exit competencies which will see the programs delivered in a more holistic approach and the move away for the ethos of final assessments. 

3: The alignment with the Player Development Plan

With this in mind the New Adult Intro (Coaches currently working in the adult game); New Youth Intro (Coaches working within the Youth Game; New National D Licence (Replaced the old youth certificate) and the National Goalkeeping D Licence are being released for their first ever deliver in Cork in January as part of a Coach Education Festival of Football which will see the following courses taking place that weekend:
