  • Practical case studies that demonstrate the practical applications of regulations.
  • Knowledge checks that provide continuous feedback to reinforce and consolidate your understanding.
  • Practice examinations that replicate the FIFA Football Agent Examination, providing you with a real exam experience ahead of the actual exam.
