Attendees who gained the award included: Matthew Booth, Jonathon Buesnel, Steven Crawford, Sean Doran, Jonathan Le Fondre, Jamie Hazley, Glenn Kewley, Steve Martin, Jordan Neill, Kamen Nafkha, Sian Noble, Joe Smith and Steve Wharmby.
Jersey FA Football Development Manager said "All the coaches are to be congratulated on the amount of work they do for football on the Island and for the commitment and enthusiasm they showed on the course.
"Having these coaches working in local Clubs and Schools contributes significantly to the raising of standards in football provision. It also supports Clubs to maintain their FA Charter Standard status and those looking to apply in the future."
The Level 1 CCF is aimed at those coaches working with young players who wish to increase their knowledge and gain a National qualification. The 30 hour course includes pre-requisites of an Emergency Aid module and the FA Safeguarding Children workshop.
Further training and assessment involves a mixture of both theory and practical work based around Long Term Player Development.
