Overview
Football Data Analytics has become a core function in modern football decision-making, shaping how clubs evaluate players, design tactics, manage performance, and plan long-term strategy. This Level 3 course is designed to equip learners with the analytical knowledge and practical understanding needed to interpret football data confidently and apply insights at both team and organisational levels.
The course introduces how data is generated and used across professional football, covering performance, tactical, physical, and contextual information. Learners develop a strong understanding of how data is collected through match analysis, video technology, GPS tracking, and digital platforms. They then explore how this data is transformed into meaningful performance indicators that support recruitment, coaching decisions, and match preparation.
A key focus is placed on interpreting player and team metrics, including advanced performance indicators such as expected goals, spatial data, and trend analysis. Learners gain insight into statistical reasoning, data visualisation, and predictive analysis, enabling them to evaluate tactical decisions and performance outcomes objectively. The course also develops the ability to communicate data findings clearly to coaches, players, and stakeholders — a critical skill for leadership and analytical roles in football.
Real-world case studies and applied analysis tasks allow learners to examine both successful and unsuccessful uses of data within professional football environments. Ethical considerations, data privacy, and emerging technologies are also addressed, ensuring learners understand responsible and future-focused data use.
On successful completion, learners will receive a free course completion certificate. Those seeking enhanced professional recognition may choose from multiple premium certificate and transcript options, available for purchase. Learners also benefit from 5-star rated student support, available 24/7 via email, ensuring expert guidance throughout the course.
There are no formal entry requirements. Learners should have a basic understanding of football and an interest in data or performance analysis. Familiarity with spreadsheets or analytical thinking is helpful but not essential, as concepts are explained clearly from the ground up.
