League Football Education

Who we are

League Football Education (LFE) was established in 2004 by The English Football League (EFL) and The Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) to deliver the Sporting Excellence Apprenticeship to the 16 to 18 year old apprentice footballers at EFL clubs. We are also responsible for a full-time 16-19 Study Programme at various Football Club Charities (FCC), who complete sport related qualifications in order to progress to University or full-time employment.
