Level 2 Technical Scouting in Football

Aimed at intermediate learners looking to expand their player-evaluation skills, this PFSA course explores technical scouting as a discipline within football. It examines how information technology and data science can complement traditional scouting methods, giving scouting teams access to objective performance measures and the ability to screen players on a global scale. The material is presented in a way that remains accessible to those without a specialist background in mathematics or data analysis.

The course is delivered entirely online and self-paced by the Professional Football Scouts Association (PFSA), and can be completed within one week. It was developed by a senior consultant with experience advising clubs including Chelsea, PSG, and Real Madrid, lending notable industry credibility to the curriculum.
