EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE



From this point onwards, we use two important terms regularly in the survey: "obligatory education" and "facultative education" (events and programmes). Here is how we understand the terms mentioned:


Obligatory education

We mean all educational measures required by the regulations of the federations and football associations as well as your own employer. We are talking about various licensing obligations, credited conferences or internal trainings.


Facultative education

A collection of all events and programmes selected independently and freely by an individual person. These can be webinars, conferences, courses, educational platforms, advisory sessions, mentoring or internships.
