Psychology for Soccer Level 1 is LIVE!
FA Learning is pleased announce the launch of its first online qualification - Psychology for Soccer Level 1.
This pioneering project is the first of its kind to be provided by any Football Governing Body and is available to anyone with access to the internet. There are no additional requirements to take part other than an interest in learning more about the subject and an email address!
The course is aimed at coaches, parents and teachers of 7-12 year olds looking to gain an introduction to psychology and understand the needs of players. Featuring modules based on 'true to life' player, coach and parent scenarios, combined with audio and video technology, the course is a comprehensive, interactive learning experience.
The Course Modules are:
Psychology and Soccer
Motivation
Learning and Acquiring skills
Psychological Development
Environment and Social Influences
In addition to the course modules, learners will also have access to a number of further benefits included as part of the course fee. The benefits include:
3 months support from Qualified FA Tutors
Classroom specific online discussion forums
Global online discussion forums
A Resource area containing over 100 articles and web links relating to coaching 7-12 year olds.
All successful students receive a FA Qualification in psychology
Within the 5 modules, there are over 20 sessions totaling over 8 hours worth of content. Including the use of discussion forums, resource area and the course tasks, we anticipate the course will take on average 20 hours to complete.
Psychology for Soccer Level 1 offers a flexible online learning solution, interaction and support from tutors and students and a host of additional benefits and features.
Don't take our word for it - this is what Jim Sheldon, the Executive Director, of National Soccer Coaches Association of America said about the course after taking a look at Psychology for Soccer Level 1 before it went live.
"As a coaching educational organisation also about to launch its first online course, The FA Psychology qualification sets the standard for all of us to follow. Its realism, ease of navigation, logical progression and support tools are an outstanding model."
