Oceania Football Confederation has partnered with New Zealand Football (NZF) to deliver coaching diplomas in Oceania.
The Pro-License is the global standard for elite level coaching requirement for top leagues around the world.
RNZ Pacific reports Andy Boyens, Technical Director at New Zealand Football, sees delivering this course as the next logical step for coach development in New Zealand.
He said they want coaches from NZ and Oceania to be able to go to the top level of the game.
The head of education and high performance at the confederation said as the game grows across Oceania, it is important that coaching standards improve as well.
