2025/26 Season: Funding Opportunities
To support football truly being a game for all, there are two different funding programmes available for Introduction to Coaching Football:
This programme is run in partnership with Chase, the Official Banking Partner of England Football Learning. If you’re awarded a place on our Chase fully funded places programme, the full £160 cost of the Introduction to Coaching Football course will be covered by Chase.
Partially Funded Places Programme
Through our partially funded places programme, we fund £136 of the course cost meaning you only need to pay £24.
Please note: Both funding programmes also include access to our Safeguarding Children (SGC) and Introduction to First Aid in Football (IFAIF) courses, which are priced at £30 each. You must complete both of these courses before enrolling on Introduction to Coaching Football
How to apply
To apply for a partially funded place or Chase fully funded place, you’ll need to complete our Funding Eligibility Form.
The Funding Eligibility Form will be open throughout the season or until funding is fully allocated.
You’ll receive a response to your application within five weeks of submission.
If your application is successful, you'll receive a discount code which must be redeemed within two months. Funding is limited and subject to availability, so we encourage all successful applicants to redeem their funded place early to avoid disappointment.
Please note, coaches are only eligible for one of our funding programmes per season.
If you are applying for a partially funded place / Chase fully funded place on this course, please do not purchase a place on the course until you have received the outcome of your funding application, as we will not be able to process refunds once a purchase has been made.
