The ‘C’ course in Uzbekistan, meanwhile, runs on November 5-19, and also aims at training coaches and developing their basic techniques and skills in football. It is designed to teach the coaches to organise, direct and conduct basic coaching practices targeting especially young players.

A typical course lasts about 13 days and requires a minimum of 85 hours of study time for both the practical and theoretical sessions. In the final examination, students will be assessed on their practical coaching abilities and knowledge of the laws of the game, in addition to learning and understanding of the theory contents of football coaching.
