Frequently asked questions and answers

Is the children's soccer certificate recognized?

Yes, both in terms of content and financially. If you have already completed the certificate before starting the C license, participation in the first attendance phase is optional.

When will I receive my access data?

You will receive the access data for the "Edubreak" learning platform by e-mail on the first day of the course.

How do the online phases work? Are there fixed dates when I have to be present?

In the online phases, you work on various tasks before, between and after the face-to-face phases. These each have deadlines, but can be completed flexibly within this period. There are generally no fixed online deadlines with compulsory attendance.

Can I work on the online assignments via the Edubreak app?

We recommend editing via the browser, as the app currently only works to a limited extent and does not display all tasks and content in full. All functions are reliably available to you via the browser.

I am unable to attend the attendance phase, what do I have to do?

Participation in all attendance phases is mandatory. If you are unable to attend due to illness, please inform us immediately by sending an email to qualifizierung@spam.berlinerfv.de and submit a doctor's certificate or sick note. This will enable us to arrange a catch-up date together.

The attendance phase overlaps with my training or my game, what now?

Please plan your participation well in advance and coordinate with your club in good time so that you can be represented during the attendance phases. Unfortunately, it is not possible to leave early or skip individual dates.

Do I need to bring sports gear for the attendance phase?

Yes, please bring both sportswear and writing utensils to the attendance phases. If you are unable to actively participate for health reasons, we require a medical certificate in advance.

Is there a catering service during the attendance phases?

Lunch is included in the price for courses at the Wannsee Sports School. No meals are usually provided at decentralized locations. Should there be an offer there, we will inform you in good time.

Is there a final exam?

There is no traditional final examination. You will receive tasks for the individual sections of the course, which you can use to demonstrate your skills. The course concludes with a development interview where you can demonstrate your learning progress.

How and when do I get my license?

As soon as all parts of the course have been successfully completed and we have received the required documents, your license will be sent to you by post as soon as possible.

What happens after that?

Once you have received your license, it is initially valid for three years. To extend it afterwards, you must take part in 20 training units within this period. This will extend your license for a further three years.

Is the C license recognized in other national associations?

Yes, the C license is recognized nationwide. For recognition in other national associations, please contact us.
