Steps to enrol in an FFCV call
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.
Typical documents: ID/NIE, 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. FFCV usually requires a seat reservation and publishes the provincial venue. 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 the Valencian Community
To coach grassroots football in Valencian 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 VI, UEFA A minimum. Details by category in what you can coach with each licence.
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.

Always confirm the current FFCV coaching circular before signing.
How much does a coaching course cost in the Valencian Community?

TD Level 1 equals UEFA B (TD Level 2 = UEFA A; TD Superior = UEFA Pro), per Article 167 bis of the RFEF Regulations — this is the key detail when deciding.
