Explore Football Performance Specialist → Shared study and assessment arrangements
These estimates cover the total study time planned for the course, including online learning, practical workshops, supported coaching practice, assignments and assessment. They are not all classroom hours or one-to-one tuition. Final arrangements will be set out in the formal course information.
Completing learning, passing assessment and brand coaching authorisation are separate steps. Each course assesses its own skills through session plans, practice records or case work; see the course details for the relevant tasks.
About the planned fees
These are planned or estimated fees while the courses are in preparation. Final fees and inclusions will be confirmed before enrolment. The planned fee includes relevant learning materials, coaching support and practice guidance within the course schedule, the first formal assessment and a course certificate after passing. Inclusions, schedules, reassessment and cancellation terms will be confirmed before enrolment; external first-aid training and additional remedial work will be explained separately. Permission to use photographs or testimonials is requested separately and does not affect the course fee.
These are adult coach education fees, not prices for family training or organisational project services.
How can you apply to work with us?
Buying a course does not guarantee an assessment pass, and passing does not automatically issue a formal credential, authorise services or provide work. Suitable professionals who have not taken a course may also submit their experience for an independent service review. Profile publication requires consent, and service scope, cooperation and enquiry status are confirmed separately.
Read the coach cooperation guide →A / LEVELFoundation and development
L1 develops the skills to organise a safe, clear foundational session. L2 builds on this with assessment, programme planning and training monitoring.
B / SPECIALISTSport-specific application
Football Specialist places strength, speed and conditioning within youth football training weeks and match schedules. Specialist is an application pathway, not L3.
C / ROLEMentor, Educator and Assessor roles
Coaches interested in supporting others’ learning can follow the planned Mentor, Educator and Assessor roles. Each requires a separate review; completing a course does not automatically lead to these roles.
What does a KINTREON course certificate represent?+
It records learning and assessment within a KINTREON course. It is not a national vocational qualification or an equivalent to NSCA-CPT or CSCS. KINTREON currently has no official authorisation or certificate recognition agreement with NSCA.
Read about certificates and coaching scope
Does completing the learning mean passing the assessment?+
No. Passing depends on the required assignments and practical work. Criteria, reassessment and appeal procedures will be published before enrolment.
Read the assessment information
Does passing automatically grant coaching authorisation or a Mentor role?+
No. Brand coaching authorisation requires separate approval. Mentor, Educator and Assessor roles each require a separate review.
