THE LEVEL 1 TID FOUNDATIONS & FUNDAMENTALS 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 you CPD work. The course is very unique and is delivered like a quiz come computer game effect, which is fun, 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.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A BEGINNERS COURSE.

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.

On 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.

The LEVEL 2 WORKSHOPS are next

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 into the scouting world. After that we go into workshops 2, 3 & 4 which are great introductions 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 courses all with completely fresh material different to the courses. We then go onto workshops 5 upwards which are all position specific from Goalkeeper to full-backs, cente-backs, midfield, 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 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.

By doing a series saves you money as the workshops then work out at only £15 each instead of £20.

The workshops start with the Bias in scouting & analysis.

Workshop 1 BIAS IN SCOUTING  which 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 say after participating.

Workshop 2 EVALUATING PLAYERS is a look into the information methodology and material you will find on our 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 youth level.

Workshop 3 DETAILED ANALYSIS is a similar workshop in delivery etc with the emphasis on what it takes to move up the ladder into 1st team scouting compared to academy which is very different. Again completely different material but the same methodology that the IPSO tutors pride themselves on. Another eye opener with the attention to detail your going to need to progress in the scouting & analysis side of football working as a 1st team scout.

Workshop 4 MATCH REPORTING is a look at match reporting/opposition analyst reports. There not as easy as you think and are very detailed. A great look at what it takes to make these reports and about 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 or you can have  them at a knock down 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 a certificate for participation.

The next series is the 5-8 series & 9-12 series delving deeper into the detail’s 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.

We would then advise you to follow 

LEVEL 2 OBSERVATION COURSE This is a great 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 wee the games 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 know when working at youth level all the way up to and around the first team environment.
