UPCOMING CPD EVENTS

CPD WORKSHOPS

Oxfordshire FA is excited to reveal a special event shining a spotlight on female coaches, which kicks off an exciting fortnight of content, features and activity celebrating female football in Oxfordshire.

Taking place from 6.30pm until 9pm on Thursday 7 March at Kidlington Football Club, we’re inviting coaches to join England U23s coach Remi Allen for a special event, which will provide those in attendance with insight on Remi’s journey within the women’s game. 

The evening will also provide coaches across Oxfordshire with a chance to ask Remi questions, as well as an opportunity to network with fellow coaches from across the county.

Leicester-born Remi commenced her playing career with her hometown club Leicester City Women, before spending time with Leeds Carnegie and Lincoln Ladies (now known as Notts County Ladies). In 2014, Remi signed for Birmingham City, where the midfielder made 34 league appearances, prior to spending four years with Reading.

In 2020, Remi returned to her hometown club Leicester City Women, following the Foxes transition to a full-time professional club. There, Remi was part of the side that achieved promotion to the Women’s Super League, before departing the following year. Spending time with Aston Villa thereafter, Remi currently plays for Birmingham City Women, and has combined her playing duties with coaching as she became part of the England Elite Coach Programme to work with the Lionesses’ U23 players.

Frequently asked questions about CPD events and additional learning.

If you're an FA Level 1 or 2 learner, continuous professional development hours are optional and so there is no longer a requirement for licensing .

If you're a UEFA qualified coach, however, you are required to complete 15 hours of CPD every three years to maintain your licence, which The FA recommends is best achieved by completing 5 hours per season.

Absolutely. The FA runs events all over the country and for all levels. To explore events please visit the national CPD events page.
