Those who pass the course will be awarded a certificate of completion issued by the Football Association, so as to obtain the qualification to use the English school international football training materials.
Training includes not only theoretical learning, but also "practical teaching". All the coaches in charge of teaching are the coaches who hold the “Faculty of International Basic Coaching Teaching License”; the teaching materials are carefully designed by the professional technical team of the FA; the whole training is divided into three stages: basic courses, professional courses, and certificate courses.
The training courses are planned to be held four to six times a year starting next year. In addition to training classes, it also plans to hold a Sino-UK Youth Football Forum from time to time and build a Sino-UK School Football training center.
The project was proposed ten years ago, but it went through some twists and turns and was not realized. In April 2011, in order to effectively promote the project, the Dr Sun Yi Xian's Youth Foundation signed a 15-year (2011-2026) "Sunshine Sports-Sino-UK School Football Project" with the office of China’s "National Sunshine Sports Leading Group for Hundreds of Students".

Wang Dengfeng, director of the Department of Sports, Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education of China, stated that school sports must achieve the goal of the Trinity: first, improve the physical health of young people; second, improve their motor skills; third, promote the development of a sound personality. "School physical education is an inseparable and important part of the entire education. Its foundation and the role of cultivating all-round development talents are self-evident. As far as the Sino-UK School Football Project is concerned, participating in football can not only improve the physical level of young people, but also It can also improve football skills, and at the same time promote the development of a healthy personality of young people.
