Professional education
IPSO courses are built and delivered by ex Premier League scouts. These are the eyes that spot talent for a living, teaching the next generation how to do it.
ScoutView is supported by IPSO
The International Professional Scouting Organisation has trained scouts for professional clubs since 2015. Thousands of students, from Level 1 introductions right through to Level 5 opposition analysis, all led by former Premier League scouts. IPSO backs what ScoutView is doing for the grassroots game, and their courses are the perfect partner to it. We give scouts somewhere to scout. IPSO teaches them how.
