hi every body....
i wanna ask did any body toke the online courses ( New Level 1 Coaches Support Package ) that cost 99 bound, its on FA web page.

i'm thinking about taking it so plz if some one toke it just tell me what he think about the course. did it help him or not.

i'm holding LEV one coaching by the way. thanks

come on ppl work with me here !!!!!!!

hey sorry about the late reply! Been out to Texas for a few weeks coaching for a friend of mine.

In my opinion, if you are lacking knowledge/skills in a certain area then they could be pretty useful but I can't see it improving your CV much and its also quite expensive!

I personally haven't taken them so I am not speaking from personal experience but I also don't know a lot of other coaches that have taken them either. Maybe that is for a reason! I'm sure the other regulars on here can help you out a little more than myself!

mmmmmmmmmm i didnt know johnny depp was a lesbian? strange!! oh well... back to reading the online courses discussion!!

any experience you get whether its online or practical can only aid your personal development, I have taken a couiple of online courses in the past their ok, but need to be used alongside practical coaching work to really increase your knowledge

just to let you know that I have enrolled on the level one support package and I will give you my thoughts once i have completed it

So again is on line courses are any good ???????

No. Do it for real best way to coach

If its provided by the FA then whatever you do dont tell Colin Bell. You will never live it down.

I have recently completed all of the online courses and found them extremely informative. Some have less relevance to others, and my favourite was the Level 1 Psychology as you can then progress up through all 5 levels, and feel some real achievement.

It is a good grounding to have and shows your commitment to coaching if you can say you have completed them, so I would say go for it, and use the resource books as well, they contain some crap but also have some great advice that is invaluable to any coach.

Good luck
