LEVEL 1 TID FOUNDATIONS & FUNDAMENTALS COURSE (Please note this is a beginners course) 

This course is designed for BEGINNERS who are really at the beginning of their journey into scouting & analysis.

If you do have a little experience it could be you start on the workshops but this course will give you a good base and another certificate for your CPD work. The course is very unique and is delivered like a quiz come computer game effect, which is fun, and self-paced with a very easy learning process for everyone. It’s for students who are looking to get into scouting & analysis at the start of their journey whether they want to be a scout, analyst or a better coach. It’s also perfect for agents to have an understanding of the protocols and procedures when looking at grassroots to academy players from a professional aspect.

It’s a great starting point to learn the protocols in scouting.

This is not as simple as you think, you will be challenged, you will be tested, but most importantly you will be shown how a youth scout works with the starting procedures a scout would use when learning the ropes and understanding how to look at young players with a scout’s eye.

In this course, you will be tested as we challenge you in all the interactive activities as you look to win your way through to the final of the IPSO CUP as you learn at the same time.

This is a very easy-to-use course designed like a ‘‘computer game” for your enjoyment but with the added bonus of your education in football supported by a certificate at the end, to show that you know the foundations & fundamentals of scouting & analysing players.

LEVEL 2 WORKSHOPS

The workshops are great CPD (Continued Professional Development) and excellent for gaining points in keeping any certificates like your coaching or scouting qualifications. We have 12 workshops which we have split into 3 series 1-4, 5-8 and 9-12 all taking approximately 90 minutes each workshop with a Q & A at the end to take them to 2 hours if need be but no longer. You can also take them individually if you wish. In these workshops, we will explain a lot of different areas in scouting which are vital before coming on the courses to set you up making sure you are ready for the courses on the pathway. The first workshop is about BIAS a very important starting point in the scouting world. After that, we go into workshops 2, 3 & 4 which are great introductions that explain what the courses will be like and we will show you through these workshops the strength of what you’re going to receive on the main courses all with completely fresh material different to the courses. We then go onto workshops 5 upwards which are all position specific from the Goalkeeper to Full-backs, Centre-backs, Midfielders, Wide-players and Strikers explaining the scouting process in positions on the pitch.Your certificate would be Level 2 Workshop 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 etc.

The workshops are great CPD (Continued Professional Development) and excellent for gaining points in keeping any certificates like you’re coaching or scouting qualifications.articipating in a series saves you money, as the workshops then work out at only £15 each instead of £20.

The workshops start with Bias in scouting & analysis.

WORKSHOP  1  BIAS  IN  SCOUTING  

We believe EVERYONE IN FOOTBALL should participate on as it will shock people to see how simple it can be to be BIAS to a player or team without you really noticing. A real eye-opener is what most students say after participating.

WORKSHOP  2  EVALUATING  PLAYERS 

A look into the information methodology and material you will find on our  Level 3 TID Grassroots Youth Scouting to Under-23’s Pro-Level Course. This will hopefully entice you to come onto the course knowing after the workshop you have peace of mind you are going to be taught great tips and skills you didn’t realize you needed at the youth level.

WORKSHOP  3  DETAILED  ANALYSIS 

A similar workshop in delivery with an emphasis on what it takes to move up the ladder into First Team Scouting compared to academy scouting, which is very different. This introduces you to Level 4 First Team Scouting Course. Again, completely different material to what you will encounter when you’re on the main course, but the same methodology that the IPSO tutors pride themselves on. Another eye-opener with the attention to detail you’re going to need to progress in the scouting & analysis side of football working as a 1st team scout.

WORKSHOP  4  OPPOSITION  ANALYSIS  MATCH REPORTING 

This is a look at Opposition Analysis/Match Reporting. It’s not as easy as you think and the reporting is very detailed. A great look at what it takes to make these team reports and how to become an opposition analyst.

These 4 workshops can be taken individually or as a series named the 1-4 series. 

Normally costing £20 each you can have them at a knockdown price of 4 for the price of 3 at £60 for the series (£15 each).

4 Workshops with approximately 8 hours of knowledge which is great value for money with 4 certificates for participation.

The next series is the 5-8 series & 9-12 series delving deeper into the details going into position-specific all explained when you check them out. You can take them before doing courses or after as they are extensions of the courses but specifically aimed at each position.

LEVEL  2  OBSERVATION  COURSE

This is a great 3 hour course to show students the skills in observation in many different forms and how to look at body language or the unique observations you should be looking for in players or teams. A 3-hour ‘’Attention to Detail’’ course that covers every aspect of observation in many different ways from the player to the team to the environment where the game is being played. Lots of tips and knowledge to offer here from the tutor’s vast experience when analysing certain situations that can easily be misinterpreted. Deep observation skills and ‘’know-how’’ that you need to have in your locker when working at youth level all the way up to the first team.

All workshops & courses on the pathway are accredited with the qualifications accepted all over the world with our education providers backing within the CPD GROUP.

The next step on the pathway is:

LEVEL  3  GRASSROOTS YOUTH  SCOUTING  COURSE TO PRO-ACADEMY

Another great course that is approximately 16 hours taken over 2 or 3 days depending on time (online & in the classroom). A brilliant course on scouting potential in very young players with age-specific scouting procedures. This is needed within this area of scouting.

You will learn the do and do not’s. You will be taught how to minimize mistakes with loads of useful tips from the horse’s mouth as our tutors show you the ropes of scouting young players with the pitfalls and obstacles you could face. Take this course very seriously because if you ever start at a club this is where they will start you and you will need this course as it’s invaluable to everyone in scouting & analysis. The big takeaway from this course is age-specific scouting and position-specific for the age of the young player.

LEVEL  4  FIRST  TEAM  SCOUTING  COURSE

This is learning how to be or work as a first-team scout at a professional club. Again this is a 16-hour course taken over 2 or 3 days depending on times (online & in a classroom). We start to go deeper now and this really is a jump up to another level. This is a game changer and it really does propel you forward in the scouting world. Learning the procedure that first-team scouts adhere to and how they calculate the players is very fascinating as we delve into deep analysis of the player from visual live at the game to the statistical side of scouting. A real-in-depth course of attention to detail at the highest level.

LEVEL  5  OPPOSITION  ANALYSIS  COURSE

This is where you will be taught how to devise a match report. This is a super detailed course and we strongly advise you to have done all the other courses before coming on this course as you will need the knowledge from the previous courses to help you put this together. This is tough and a very difficult course to pass but the buzz from passing is amazing as then you will know you can do the job properly with super detail. It’s a great feeling of achievement when you pass this course. This is a 16-hour course taken over 2 or 3 days depending on times (online & in the classroom). This is for very serious scouts & analysts.

Practical skills & tools to accelerate your career

Completing the International Professional Scouting Organisation 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 2 in 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 & Statistics 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 course will bring together two great past times being football and data.

During this course, you will deepen your knowledge of the essential tools and skills in analysing data in football, from balancing video and data analysis to understanding key metrics. I also explored the role of data providers, the importance of databases and the day-to-day processes of an analysis department. I believe that the combination of data and sport is crucial to raising the performance and strategy of teams.

Ready for new challenges where I can apply and expand this knowledge!

LEVEL  3  PERFORMANCE  ANALYSIS  COURSE (TAGGING & CODING)  

This course is only available when we have groups of 5 or more students please contact us to discuss.

Football performance analysis or match tagging, is now considered as a “very important procedure” when it comes to improving match results and player performances.

On this course you will learn how to tag and code players with live in game analysis.

Coding a game, or tagging a match, involves the process of building a timeline of events that happen within the match. The events recorded are usually determined by the analyst or coach, based on what information they want to focus on from analyzing the opposition or used for training sessions within the football club. On this course you will be shown the skills of how to do this.

This is a very in-depth course and we will teach you that matches can be tagged during the game using apps for smart phones and tablets, and can be tagged post game using many different software.

The match tagging is to create a timeline of all the events you deem relevant or important in a match, and to present this data in reports which help to determine areas of development, areas of strength, home and away team strategies and much more which will be shown on the course.

Apart from learning to use the tagging and coding equipment.
