Programme Overview
The UEFA Anti-Doping Educator Course is a practical professional development programme designed for individuals responsible for delivering anti-doping education to those working in football, including players. It aims to strengthen both anti-doping expertise and educational delivery skills, ensuring that participants can provide engaging, impactful and relevant learning experiences.
The programme combines anti-doping knowledge with modern educational principles, helping participants understand not only what to teach, but also how to teach it effectively. Through webinars, e-learning, practical assignments and an in-person workshop, participants develop the confidence, communication techniques and presentation skills needed to engage diverse football audiences.
Strong emphasis is placed on practice, peer learning and feedback. Participants experience education from the learner’s perspective, work with football-specific scenarios and learn how to use educational resources effectively to create interactive and meaningful sessions. The programme also explores audience engagement, facilitation skills and methods for adapting sessions to different groups.
By the end of the course, participants will be better equipped to deliver high-quality anti-doping education that supports informed decision-making and reinforces a strong culture of clean sport throughout football.
