We pride ourselves of helping our students progress their way into the football world with the help of our growing worldwide network of contacts. We help aspiring amateurs or professionals find their first job in the game by teaching the procedures and the techniques with ”Attention to Detail” that professionals use.
Our courses are accredited worldwide by the CPD GROUP which makes our diplomas an official document recognized as Education Providers.
What’s the difference between us and other providers? What do we offer?
Someone’s Level 3 course may not be as strong as someone’s Level 1? Don’t think all courses are the same?
The best way to find out about why we differ and why ‘‘we make a difference’’ is to speak to other students who have participated on other workshops and courses from different providers, quite easy to do on social media these days especially on LinkedIn & Facebook.
‘‘Wow the content is brilliant not basic! Exactly what I wanted to learn’’
‘‘They TEACH you to scout & analyse, not just show you’’
‘‘The workshops are better than some courses I’ve been on”
”The materials are worth the participation fee alone’’
‘‘It’s worth going on especially for agents/intermediaries to make new contacts in high positions’’
‘‘They make you feel very comfortable regardless of your experience’’
‘‘At every step they made sure everyone understood what was being taught.’’
”If that’s a workshop, i can’t wait to see the courses”
‘‘It was like talking to your mates the tutors are great’’
‘‘It will transform your understanding of the game and teach you how to analyse football in ways you never considered before’’
“IPSO REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”
The professionalism & experience of the tutors.
The strength of the content in materials on the workshop or course.
The added bonuses of free products Jobs4football, Metrica, Noisefeed, Footballersglobal,
The aftercare and help provided after participating.
The methodology and easy descriptive learning to understand clearly.
The world-wide contacts you will gain and meet.
The interactions to ask questions you want to know there and then.
Past students will clarify all this with the attention to detail we go into.
Not only explaining scouting & analysis clearly but the procedures that should be taken without cutting corners, where mistakes could be made.
Showing you how to fix any minor problems, why and how to analyse to your advantage to save time to not make any simple mistakes that could cause issues. Tips and experiences that only a very experienced scout would know.
