FREE TICKETS FOR GAMES
We can now provide our students FREE TICKETS for games in the football league due to a new partnership with Newport County FC. This partnership enables our students to go and watch games from the football league to non-league to gain that added value of practicing before looking to get a job as a scout or analyst.
This great incentive provides that missing link between finishing a course and looking for a job in the scouting.
What you should not do is jump in at the deep end and go working for a club straight away as you have only just passed or completed the courses so a more measured approach is advisable.
We advise you practice through scouting for Newport with IPSO so any minor mistakes or drawbacks will not be looked upon in a bad way were you may lose your job or be frowned upon basically defeating the object and losing that chance to work for a club or more importantly being blacklisted before you get going. What we will do here is give you professional feedback on your work until its up to speed and your portfolio is created to help you become the professional scout and get a paid job withing scouting.
A great idea! We agree as the IPSO aftercare is second to none making sure your looked after on your journey so you receive the best football education on the market.
You will also get a pass to ensure you get into games through the IPSO & Newport partnership.
ONLY IPSO OFFERS THIS SPECIAL AFTERCARE!

Our main aim at IPSO is to provide the appropriate tools and knowledge that will make you a better amateur or professional football person within the game. But we don’t just stop there, after you take our courses you are part of the IPSO Family.

Someone’s Level 3 course may not be as strong as someone’s Level 1? Don’t think all courses are the same?
