UEFA CPD Courses

As directed by UEFA, all UEFA A and UEFA B licence holders are required to complete 15 hours CPD
(Continuous Professional Development) over three years in order to maintain their licence.

To enable coaches to meet this criteria the FAI will provide approved CPD seminars and workshops over the next three years. The validity of coaching licences is limited to time. The renewal of a licence depends on the number of hours of further education completed within a stipulated timeframe. The minimum requirement is 15 hours within a 3 year period. This requirement is compulsory.
