Intermediate · Spanish & English
UEFA B preparation
The course people take after failing the assessment once, and the one they wish they had taken first.
What you leave with
- A portfolio of eight session plans in the format assessors expect
- One of your own sessions filmed, watched and marked with you
- A written mock assessment with the actual criteria applied
- The confidence to explain why, not just what — which is the bit that fails people
Who it is for
- You hold a C licence, or nothing, and want the B
- You have been coaching for two years or more
- You can commit two evenings a week for six weeks
Who it is not for
If you have never coached a session on your own, start with Session Design instead. This course assumes you have a team.
Week by week
- Week 1
What an assessor is actually watching
The criteria, line by line, with two real submissions — one pass, one fail — read side by side.
- Week 2
Planning a session that survives
Objective, constraints, progressions, and what to do when it collapses in the first four minutes.
- Week 3
Coaching the moment
Intervention: when to stop the session, when to let it run, and how long is too long to talk.
- Week 4
Film your own session
You run it, you film it, you send it. Nothing else this week.
- Week 5
Watching yourself
We watch three of them together, in full. This is the week people say changed things.
- Week 6
Mock assessment
Marked against the real criteria, written up, and returned with what to fix before you go.
What people say
★★★★★
I had failed the assessment twice before this. The difference was being made to plan a session properly instead of copying one.
★★★★★
Worth it for the feedback on my filmed session alone. Nobody had ever watched me coach and told me the truth.
★★★★★
Ran my first proper session plan past my technical director and he asked where I got it. That was the moment it paid for itself.
★★★★★
The self-paced analysis course is good but I wanted more feedback. Javier told me that upfront, to be fair.

Questions
Do I need a licence already?
No. Most people on UEFA B preparation have a C or nothing at all. Tell me where you are and I will tell you honestly which course fits — including if that is neither of them.
What if I miss a session?
Every session is recorded and you keep access for a year. The live part is where questions get answered, so come if you can, but missing one is not a problem.
Is it in Spanish or English?
Both, in separate groups. UEFA B preparation runs in both; Session Design is Spanish; Analysis for Coaches is English. Say which when you book.
Can my club pay for several coaches?
Yes. Four or more gets a club rate and one invoice. Send me the names and I will send the invoice.
What if it is not for me?
Full refund up to the end of week one, no questions and no awkward conversation. After that, a pro-rata refund if something genuinely changes.
Do I get a certificate?
You get a certificate of completion, and it is not a licence — no online course is. What it is worth is the portfolio and the mock assessment you take to the real thing.
