FFCV enrolment: documentation, provincial venues and formats
First identify the exact course name and what it awards: a UEFA federation licence or an academic Sports Technician qualification. FFCV usually offers in-person and blended formats, and the provincial venue changes the commute. Check the available levels before deciding.
- ID/NIE.
- Prior education: Spanish ESO for UEFA C; UEFA C in force plus 6 months of experience for UEFA B.
- Medical certificate.
- Photo.
- Proof of payment.
Valencian football: minimum licence per level and Tercera RFEF Group VI
- UEFA C: grassroots football in Valencian clubs, under-7 to under-16.
- UEFA B: autonomous junior, Liga Nacional Juvenil and territorial senior amateur (Regional Preferente, Primera Regional).
- UEFA A: Tercera RFEF, Group VI.
If you want an academic qualification with MEC grant access, consider the Sports Technician: longer and more expensive, but it grants an official Ministry title. Compare both routes in Sports Technician vs UEFA licence.

Coaching course in Alicante and Elche
If you are looking for a football coaching course in Alicante or in Elche, FFCV concentrates the province's offering at its Alicante city venue, with UEFA C and UEFA B calls depending on demand each season. There is no confirmed dedicated venue in Elche: if you live in that area, the usual option is to travel to Alicante city for in-person sessions. UEFA A and Pro remain concentrated in Valencia.
Before enrolling, compare the real cost of each route: the FFCV federation route is cheaper than the academic Sports Technician route (see the federation vs academy price comparison), but it requires being linked to a club from the start of the course — check what to do if you are not in a club yet before booking your place.
Coaching course in Castellón
In Castellón, FFCV also opens a provincial venue for UEFA C and, depending on the call, UEFA B. Local demand exists, but the federation does not always confirm the venue in advance: before paying, confirm on ffcv.es that the current call includes a Castellón venue for the level you want to take.
If there is no open call in Castellón when you check, the alternative is the Valencia city venue, which involves more travel but the same price and the same UEFA licence validity across the whole region.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find football coach courses in the Valencian Community?
The main route is the FFCV Coaching School, headquartered at C/ d'Almassora 2-Bajo (Valencia, Cabanyal district), with branches in Alicante and Castellón; contact escuela@ffcv.es or 963 510 619. The academic Sports Technician route runs at centres authorised by the Valencian Department of Education and the CSD. For the step-by-step process, see how to enrol in a coaching course.
Which licence do I need to coach in the Valencian Community?
It depends on the category, competition and role. For grassroots football (under-7 to under-16), UEFA C usually suffices; for autonomous junior, Liga Nacional Juvenil and territorial senior amateur (Regional Preferente, Primera Regional), UEFA B is required; for Tercera RFEF Group VI, UEFA A or above. Always confirm the current FFCV coaching circular before signing.
How much does a coaching course cost in the Valencian Community?
Via the federation route, the UEFA C course at FFCV cost €350 and UEFA B, €850, in the 2025/26 call; the next UEFA C call has enrolment open until 31 August 2026. The academic Sports Technician Level 1 route can exceed €800, with MEC grant access. Always check the current cost on ffcv.es.
Is a UEFA licence the same as Sports Technician studies in the Valencian Community?
Before deciding, compare duration and cost: the Sports Technician route grants an official Ministry qualification with MEC grant access, but takes longer; the UEFA licence from FFCV gets you coaching sooner (€350 for UEFA C, €850 for UEFA B), though it needs the dual requirement of already being in a club. Both count equally: under Article 167 bis of the RFEF Regulations, a TD Level 1 qualifies as UEFA B, a TD Level 2 as UEFA A, and the TD Superior as UEFA Pro.
Are FFCV courses taught in Valencian or Spanish?
By default most FFCV courses are taught in Spanish, with occasional material in Valencian depending on the call and instructor. The Valencia city venue typically has more Valencian-language teaching than Castellón or Alicante. If you need a course taught entirely in Valencian, confirm when enrolling — not every intake guarantees that format.
Do I have to travel to Valencia city or are there courses in Castellón and Alicante?
The headquarters are in Valencia city (C/ d'Almassora 2-Bajo, 46010, Cabanyal district), but the FFCV usually opens provincial venues in Castellón and Alicante for UEFA C and UEFA B depending on demand. UEFA A and Pro concentrate in Valencia. Always confirm the venue of your call on ffcv.es before paying — provincial travel can make or break enrolment.
What should I do if I do not know which course to choose in the Valencian Community?
First define your goal and timeline: do you want to coach grassroots football this year or build a long-term career? To start quickly, UEFA C through FFCV (€350, next call starting 7 September 2026) is the most direct option, with venues in Valencia, Alicante and Castellón. For a deeper academic qualification, consider the Sports Technician. Use the RutaMister assistant for a personalised recommendation in under 60 seconds.
What is the FFCV dual requirement and when does the next call start?
FFCV requires a dual requirement: being part of the coaching staff of a club in the Valencian Community while also processing the practical training licence from the start of the course. The next UEFA C call starts on 7 September 2026, with enrolment open until 31 August 2026. If you are not yet in a club, check how to solve the club requirement before signing up.
