The Liverpool FC Foundation is delighted to announce the launch of the Liverpool FC Foundation International College in September 2015 - and there are still limited spaces remaining for this year's intake.

The programme will give talented 16-19-year-old males the opportunity to learn 'The Liverpool Way' through an intensive football curriculum.

Students will be supported to gain BTEC Sport, English Language (non-English speakers only), and FA Coaching qualifications while living, preparing and competing like a young professional footballer in the Barclays Premier League.
