Good morning everyone. 

I am about to start the FA level 1 course. I have chosen to return to youth football coaching after a break of 20 years. I formally was the coach for a group of youngsters, my son included

Followed them through from 8 to 16. In the early years the FA rolled out mini football. We were part of the pilot program

I have now returned to help kids, my grandsons age. Really enjoying it. We have just kicked off our 9 aside season at u11

The club insisted I went through the DBS, fully understand why. Complete First Aid and Safeguarding which I did back in March this year. Also did BT playmaker at the beginning. I  was then instructed that to continue I must complete level 1 thus getting ready to behin

However, on receiving the email yesterday, I see to complete level 1 I must complete each section to open up the next. 2 sections being first aid and safeguarding which as explained, I have already completed 

Really finding it hard to understand I now need to complete both these courses again. Surely that cannot be right. Another few hours of my time which shouldn't be necessary 

Looking for advice please

Thank you
