Who is it for?
The Level 2 Key Processes in Performance Analysis is suitable for anyone interested in how recruitment analysis is carried out at the highest levels of the game. You might be thinking seriously about a career in recruitment analysis, studying a related topic at university, or beginning a career in professional football.
The course is also suitable for people with a strong knowledge of the contemporary game, like coaches or football journalists, who want to deepen their understanding of the recruitment side.
This course is not the ideal starting point if you’re new to data-based recruitment. Our Level 1 Foundation in Recruitment Analysis is a better starting point if you want to find out what the discipline involves and how it’s used in elite football. However, if you’re completely new to data in football, the best place to start is the Level 1 Introduction to Analysis in Football course.
The Level 2 The Recruitment Analysis Process course prepares you to take all subsequent recruitment analysis courses at levels 2 and 3.
