You don't need to be with a club to complete the FA Level 1 in Coaching course, however you will need to have regular access to players.
You will need to be with a club to complete the FA Level 2 in Coaching Football and UEFA B coaching courses. This is due to the nature of the course work involved and linking this with your squad of players.
