“The best thing about this course is network that you gain. You have 24 candidates on the course and all of them are different. Some of them coach full-time or part-time, some of them do it like me voluntarily. That’s how you learn not only from the tutor but from each other.”
The atmosphere is amazing, and the quality of organization is impressive. This is a place you’ll definitely want to come back.
CBF provides an incredible opportunity to go step by step in coaching education. I intend not only to complete my UEFA pro licensing in the future but also to open up my own academy in Canada, and eventually coach at the national team level.
To coach my national team. This is my dream. And I’m more than happy that CBF Education gives the chance to make this dream come true.
To represent my country all over the world, what could be better? Happy that CBF Education helps us to make first steps in international level.
