I recently completed the PFSA's Talent Identification Level 1 in Football online which enbled me to work through at my own pace which I found really beneficial, fitting around life and work.
As a grassroots coach, the content on the course really resonated with me and helped me to relate my experiences as a coach to the world of scouting, and vice versa. Highly recommended.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the PFSA Talent Identification in Football Level Two Online Course.
The interactive nature of the course was the most enjoyable aspect, the platform is so user friendly.
I was able to navigate the content at my own pace which allowed me to revisit aspects which I didn’t grasp first time round. The tasks and questions allowed me to test my knowledge at regular intervals and helped me to consider aspects of scouting at a deeper level than ever before.
I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn more about Football Scouting and Talent Identification in Football.“
"After attending the PFSA Level 2 course in Bournemouth I can’t recommend this course highly enough. The two day course was very detailed and well delivered.

“Really enjoyed the course! Thank you for coming in guys!"
"I have no hesitation recommending the Professional Football Scouts Association in training and developing ex football players when they retire or thinking about a career change to train as a football scout."

The Football Group would like to thank Purvis Ali and his team at PFSA for looking after our academy students who took part in the Football Level Two Online Course.
Our students found the platform easy to use and highly informative and the ability go back, and finish of different tasks is a great plus. We would recommend this course to anyone around the world who would like to become a scout and learn about talent identification. The students also found the aftercare / service provided by PFSA after the course a great bonus for their future career choice.
We as a company will now be using PFSA Talent ID as part of our Academy Course.
This is a necessity for the football industry today.
From a journalist’s point of view, the PFSA is an association for scouts to unite, have a voice and gain recognition for the tough and unappreciated work they do. If you’re a scout, or are looking to be a scout, I urge you to book your place on to the next course because what you will learn there is invaluable.
