🔟 Years ago this month, I started working as an FA Tutor delivering on the L1/L2 Courses. ⚽️

By conincidance, earlier this week I received an email from the FA Learning team offering me the role of “Delivery Lead” for next season. 🎉

Looking forward to getting started! ⚽️🎓

@stevensallis @jimmybullard @LivermoreDave @EbereEze10 Highly recommended. 👍
