Steps to enrol in an RFCYLF call
First identify the exact course name and what it awards: a UEFA federation licence or an academic Sports Technician qualification. The difference changes cost, duration, venue and later recognition. Check the available levels before deciding.
Typical documents: ID, prior education (Spanish ESO for UEFA C; UEFA C in force plus 6 months of experience for UEFA B), medical certificate, photo and proof of payment. RFCYLF usually requires a seat reservation and publishes the provincial venue of each call. If a call does not detail total cost, venue or practical training, request it in writing before enrolling.
Which level to choose for your goal in Castilla y León
To coach grassroots football in regional clubs (under-7 to under-16), UEFA C is usually enough. For autonomous junior, Liga Nacional Juvenil and territorial senior amateur (Regional Preferente, Primera Regional), UEFA B is standard. For senior amateur or Tercera RFEF Group VIII, UEFA A minimum. Details by category in what you can coach with each licence.
If you want an official academic qualification with MEC grant access, consider the Sports Technician: longer and more expensive, but it grants a Ministry of Education title. Compare both routes in Sports Technician vs UEFA licence.
