What if I have completed my UEFA A outside of England?

You will still be able to apply. 


If you're considering completing the UEFA Pro Diploma in England, make sure that your UEFA A Diploma is on your FAN with us by sending a picture of the certificate through our contact portal here


Please select FA Education > Other Courses > I need help applying or booking on to a course > UEFA Pro Diploma. 


Please then make sure to attach your certificate. 


For transparency on process, when we receive your Diploma, we will contact the awarding nation to confirm the validity of you Diploma before we can attach this to your FAN. 


It is important to get this done ahead of the application window opening as we cannot be responsible for the length of time the awarding nation may take to validate your document and therefore, may take longer than the application window is open for. 


If your application is accepted, you will then and only at this point be required to complete a cross border form. A cross border form is used when someone completes a UEFA qualification with a nation and then wishes to complete the next level qualification with a different UEFA nation. If your application is accepted, we will be able to provide you with a cross border form to complete. It is then your responsibility to liaise with the awarding nation to get them to complete their relevant section. 


Please note that in some instances, the awarding nation of your UEFA A may refuse to sign a cross border form at their discrepancy and there is nothing we are able to do to affect this.
