WHY IPSO?
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.
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 endorsed worldwide by the YMCA Awards 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.
QUOTE FROM STUDENTS AFTER PARTICIPATING:
‘‘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’’
