The above courses may be subject to review and only run if adequate numbers of students register. Times and methods of study are tailored as far as possible to fit in with the lifestyle of a professional footballer. Please note that whilst the courses are partly subsidised by the PFA, a contribution will be required from each student towards tuition costs.
