CoachBadge

Methodology

CoachBadge lists coaching courses only from pages published by the football associations themselves, their regional or district associations, and academies those associations run. We do not use forums, social posts or search-result snippets.

What every entry shows

Provider, country, level, application window or deadline, start date, price, language, format (in person, online or blended), status, a link to the source page and the date we last checked it. If a page does not state something, we leave it blank instead of guessing.

How status is decided

We keep the exact sentence from the page that supports each status and date, so every claim can be traced back.

How often we check

Every source is re-read once a week by a small script that identifies itself as CoachBadgeBot, follows each site's robots.txt and waits between requests. Changes are reviewed by a person before they appear here; nothing is published automatically. A few sites refuse automated visitors but show their course pages to people. Those we read by hand in a normal browser, mark as “read by a person in a browser” and re-check by hand; the script does not visit them.

Sources we could not read

Some sites block automated reading or load their course lists with JavaScript or behind a login. We respect that and do not work around it, so these countries may have courses we do not list yet:

Corrections

Spotted something wrong or missing? Open a correction with the course and a link to the provider's page. Corrections are public GitHub issues, so please do not include personal details.
