Introduction to Analysis in Football

Aimed at total beginners, this introductory course explains how data and technology are reshaping modern football, covering topics such as GPS tracking, AI cameras, data modelling, and the role of the analyst within a club. It is suited to anyone considering a career in football analysis, as well as coaches, journalists, and fans wanting a deeper understanding of the game. Three modules address what analysis is, how data is used, and the pathways into the profession, with each module concluding in an assessment.

Delivered entirely online and self-paced, the course is browser-based and includes interactive exercises, audio narration, and material drawn from analysts with experience across the Premier League, Women's Super League, Championship, and Bundesliga. Learners who pass all three module assessments earn three CPD points and a certificate of completion. The course forms part of a Level 1 qualification offered by AnalyiSport and serves as a foundation for the provider's more specialised courses in performance and recruitment analysis.
