Football Marketing & Sponsorship Certificate (online)

The program was interesting on many levels. The tutors were very experienced in the field of sports marketing and created a great learning and networking environment.

Every single part of the program has been very valuable to me. I would rate it top level since the combination of quality together with the skilled and practical form of educating is hard to beat.

I could not have found a better partner to educate myself in sports marketing.

I can highly recommend the Football Marketing & Management course to everyone who wants to further their knowledge of the football indsutry. The course was very well-structured and the group discussions are of great value. The experience of Diego Valdes, combined with his great interpersonal skills make him a great program coordinator who is always open for advice and ready to answer your questions.

After attending the Football Marketing & Management Course at Sports Business Institute Barcelona, I can finally say that has included everything I was expecting from it. From practical cases and theory about different aspects of the football industry to the experience of our tutor, Diego Valdés, we’ve learned a lot about sponsorship, planning events, ambush marketing, etc… The online campus has also helped a lot, with illustrative videos and more inputs about each module besides the slides. The weekly web conferences were really useful too, because we could interact a lot between all the participants.
These 8 weeks have been a great experience and if I could, I would do the course again.

I enrolled and followed the Football management and marketing course over the past eight weeks and I have to say that I benefited a lot from it. The modules, the explanations along with the case studies were more than sufficient in helping me learn more about the business aspect of football. I must also thank Diego Valdes who I believe added more value to the course and he’s a person who will surely increase your football marketing and management knowledge. Words are not enough to praise but all I can say is that I recommend this module to everyone who wants to peruse a career in football management.

Sports business Institute has been a real help for me in my journey to enter the football industry. As a financial adviser, I needed to understand more deeply the reality of football business, and the Sports Business Institute gave me a broad knowledge and a good network to do so. A special thanks to Diego (Program Director) who has been key to meeting a broad range of people in the industry.

I undertook a Football Marketing and Business Management course of study with the Sports Business Institute, Barcelona in the Autumn of 2013. The course was a wonderful blend of current, relatable content taught across live web seminars, background reading, audio visual content, online assesment and homework. I cannot praise the course highly enough, nor those that teach it. The tutors have first hand experience of the modern football industry at the highest level and a vast knowledge of the inner workings of the industry worldwide. I hope to undertake further courses with them in the near future and would unreservedly recommend The Sports Institute, Barcelona to anybody contemplating one of their courses

I followed the Football Management and Marketing course over the past few months and must say it was a great experience. Good insights from the industry, great examples and a well lead weekly seminar. Would definitely recommend to everyone who wants a more detailed insight in the industry or who is aiming for a career in sports/football management.

Sports Business Institute is a school that allows you to develop quickly skills in marketing and management in the complex football industry, with concrete and direct interaction with our teacher. Nothing is theoretical, everything is based on real and concrete cases, thanks to the experience and knowledge of our teacher. The conference(s) with professionals of the sector to complete the course were very rewarding. Through this course, I learned that I really do not know the behind the scenes of my favorite sport. Thanks SBI!

I completed the Marketing and Social Media modules back to back and found them interesting and valuable. Working interactively with people from different sports backgrounds provided really interesting opinions and cases and a new perspective on an industry I've worked in my whole career. Anyone looking to break into the industry should definitely look at this course, the networking opportunities alone are invaluable. Even for professionals within the industry there's still a lot of information and inspiration that comes from both courses - definitely worth a look!

Additionally, the course materials give students a vast amount of background information on a wide variety of relevant topics. I would happliy recommend this course to both those looking to gain an insight into the football business and those already working in the industry.
