Testimonies
“I would recommend studying a football education programme because it gives more people an understanding from a coach’s perspective and gives you the responsibility of putting on your own sessions”
“I like the friendly nature from the staff, they treat you as an adult making it a great atmosphere to learn and train in”
“I love that we get so many great opportunities learning at a PDA site, we get to go to St Georges Park which is such a great addition to the programme.”
