FAI Launches New Online Learning Management System
The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has launched a new online learning management system that will support coaches and volunteers at all levels of the game.
As of March 2026, there is now a mandatory three-step process to complete before progressing on the Coach Development Pathway; starting with Garda Vetting and then followed by Safeguarding and First Aid modules, which are now accessible via meandmylearning.ie
All coaches are reminded that they must complete the Garda Vetting process before starting their coaching journey, as this is mandatory for all individuals (paid or voluntary) working with children under 18 or vulnerable adults.
From there, coaches can avail of several courses from the Me & My Ball series, which aims to help more kids enjoy more opportunities to play football through a varied games programme.
Amongst the courses that will be available on meandmylearning.ie are:
- Safeguarding
- First Aid
- Me & My Ball Overview
- Me & My Ball Skills
- Me & My Ball Teammates
- Me & My Position
- Me & My Club
- Goalkeeping Introduction
