LFE will be delivering two training courses in February for youth staff on behalf of Football League clubs. A letter detailing the courses has been sent out to all clubs along with reply forms which should be returned to LFE as soon as possible.
Course No. 1 – Expert Witness Training (L20)
Following the highly successful completion of the recent L20 course for coaching staff it has been decided to run an additional course for the small number of clubs which have experienced staff changes in 2006 and clubs that wish to train and qualify club staff to act as expert witnessess. Places will be limited to 20.
Clubs that wish to request more than one place may do so. In such cases the cost will be £450 plus VAT per candidate.
Aims of the course
Expert Witness Training takes coaches/club staff through the steps of how to plan, observe, give feedback and record what they have seen in the logbook and is currently the minimum qualification required by technical/coaching staff to assess the apprentices logbook.
Who should attend
This course is aimed primarily at Football League club technical/coaching staff/support staff which are involved with the assessment of young full time apprenticeship players.
When does the course take place and where.
- Initial Training – Monday 5th February 2007 at Stoke city Football Club.
- Progress Meeting – To be held within six weeks of the Initial Training day. Group to negotiate date and venue with tutor on Initial Training day.
