AFC Vision Thailand Coaching Course

[footballmad]

Does anyone know anything about the AFC 'C' Coaching Course that is conducting in Thailand? Like the information, cost, the medium of instruction as I am very interested in taking the course and would also want to volunteer to be part of a Thai professional league club coaching set up.

If anyone has those information, let me know.

Thanks,

V

Hi bro , I find this information on www.the-afc.com . Hopefully it may help you in some way :

What is the AFC ‘C’ Coaching Certificate course ?

There are 3 provinces that are, currently, running Vision Asia projects.
1. Chonburi
2. Phuket and
3. Khon Kaen

Since Vision Asia is new and it suppose to take the project out of the hands of FAT into the hands of local Football Association (of those provinces mentioned above), It is, perhaps, best for you to contact those Provinces' Association directly.

The idea of Vision Asia is to produce local football educators, managers and referees who capable of delivery necessary components of football development from the grassroots level and up. Therefore, most participants are, typically, former players with close relationship with those association. It would be a difficult door for you to ply it open, in my opinion.

However, if you have respectable playing and prior coaching experience, Phuket or Khon Kaen maybe your best bet as Chonburi is like a college with 85% of teachers with PHD's walking around the campus.

There is another option, I believe. 
Singapore hosts coaching courses (to generate $$) from time to time. For this reason, I believe that it is easier for you to get your C-License in Singapore. AFC has its coaching program posted way in advance so you can find out when and where the next C, B or A courses will take place.
