What you'll get from this course

  • License & Certificate

    Receive a diploma and license from the Thuringia Football Association (TFV), a member of the German Football Association (DFB), upon successful completion of the course.

  • Save Time

    Get pre-approved for upcoming coaching courses in Germany. Selected coaches will receive credits toward the DFB/UEFA/TFV coaching pathway offered by the State of Thuringia and Warubi Sports. See FAQ for details.

  • Community

    Every alumnus gets access to our exclusive network and joins an ecosystem of 500+ like-minded coaches, clubs, and companies.

  • Coach Profile

    Upload and update your coach profile for exposure on our social media channels and email list with over 100,000 subscribers.

  • How much does the course cost?

    The course costs $495.00. We offer several payment options to make it more affordable, including monthly payment plans.

  • Why should I do the course?

    Education, licenses, and network are key to a successful coaching career—and with this course, you can gain all three from home!

    We understand that not every coach has the time or resources to attend the limited in-person UEFA courses.

    That’s why we’re excited to offer virtual education in cooperation with the TFV in Germany, an official member of the German Football Association (DFB). Upon completion of the course, you’ll receive an official diploma and license.

  • Is this an official and acknowledged course?

    Yes, you will receive an official diploma and license in cooperation with the State of Thuringia in Germany, a member of the German Football Association (DFB).

    However, it is not equivalent to the DFB/UEFA/TFV C or UEFA B license. Additional in-person modules and exams in Germany are required to obtain those licenses.

  • What is the TFV?

    The TFV (German: Thüringer Fußball-Verband) is part of the Northeastern German Football Association and one of the state organizations under the German Football Association (German: Deutscher Fußball-Bund – DFB).

  • Will I receive credits for the UEFA C & B course?

    For each of our DFB/UEFA/TFV coaching course spots, there are at least 50 applicants. We select and recommend coaches based on this course to the German Football Association (DFB).

    Graduating with this online license pre-qualifies you, but it does not guarantee a spot in the UEFA C or B license courses.

    Note: If selected for the UEFA/DFB/TFV C or B course, you will receive course credits toward your license fee and save approximately 26 hours of preparation time.

  • How many coaches can take the course?

    We allow a maximum of 50 coaches to take the course at the same time.

    Each module assignment will be reviewed and approved by our German-licensed instructors.

    If the registration button is visible, it means spots are available and you can get started right away.

  • How long does the course take to complete?

    Modules will be released weekly over 8 consecutive weeks, and you can complete the course at your own pace.

    You’ll gain access to the next module after submitting the weekly assignment.

    If you need to skip a week, that’s no problem—but you’ll only receive your diploma and license after completing all modules.

  • Do I need coaching experience?

    The course includes content and assignments suitable for both beginners and advanced coaches.

  • Why is the course so affordable?

    Education should be affordable! We’ve partnered with leading tools in match analysis and coaching to offer exclusive insights and teaching modules as part of the course.

    If a coach later chooses to use one of these tools professionally, we receive a commission.

    We charge only a minimal fee to cover the costs of assignment approval by German State FA instructors, platform operations, and issuing your diploma and license.

  • Are the courses open to coaches outside the USA?

    Yes, the courses are open to coaches from anywhere.

  • Do you have other projects with the German FA?

    Yes, in cooperation with the DFB Academy, we held three soccer camps in Florida, USA.

    We also assist in selecting candidates for the DFB/UEFA/TFV coaching licenses in collaboration with the State of Thuringia.

    Our community continues to grow—we’ve consulted for the DFB Academy, Hertha BSC Berlin, Hamburger SV, matchmetrics, and many other European and American professional clubs, players, coaches, colleges, and companies.

You’re in good company! Here are just a few of the top industry-leading organizations from our network of over 500 alumni, coaches, partners, and players.

I can only say that I came away with a lot of knowledge and specific football information thanks to the TFV associate degree. Prior to being accepted to the UEFA B course I registered for the TFV and came a way with a lot of new learnings, the video content, teachers and assignments were engaging and interesting. The TFV course prepped me for the intensive UEFA B course in Germany, without the basic knowledge of the TFV course I don’t think I would have succeeded in passing my exams for the UEFA B. Even if you are an experienced soccer coach I guarantee you will come with away with having learned something new. I can only recommend Warubi for the professionalism and dedication to coaching development. The coaches from Thuringer Fußball Verband are experts in the field Of football

The German FA Coaching License (Associate Degree) had a lot of documentation, ressources and content learning. It was really interesting and worth the price! It had theoritical modules and practical modules which is great, because at the end we are coaches and we need to deliver on and off the field! It was a good preparation for the UEFA B License course. A lot of content will be seen during the 2 intensive weeks for the UEFA B. So, I advice to take it seriously.

Warubi definitely deliver what they promise. Actually, they deliver even more! An outstanding academic content (a mix of UEFA, German FA and other various content), delivered by tutors with empirical background, approachable and demanding, in the best way possible. I felt since day 1 that our success in the course was as well their success and they did the extra mile to ensure all the students/coaches had the opportunity to develop, create and overcome. But if you think a Coaching License is the best thing you will bring with you, I'm sorry to disappoint you! I've left Germany with something much more important than any qualification, I gained 30 friends! People that shared with me more than 15 days, 24/7 and so many memories. That network, companionship, healthy competition... That's priceless! This course was the best investment I ever made for my career. If you have the ambition, potential and a good fair amount of knowledge, Warubi is a "no brainer" as your next step for coaching qualifications. Thank you guys. ABN
