Premier Skills is our international partnership with the Premier League operating in 25 countries across Asia, Africa and the Americas from Afghanistan to Zambia.
It draws upon the Premier League’s global appeal and expertise in delivering community programmes in the UK, alongside the British Council’s global network, track record of delivery and world class expertise in English.
Since it began in 2007, 6,301 coaches and referees have been trained, who in turn have reached a further 946,386 young people. 6,000 teachers have received training in the use of the Premier Skills English materials, with 3.5 million views of the materials online.
Through Premier Skills, young people, including the most vulnerable in society, are given opportunities to become better integrated into their local communities, to develop their skills for employability and raise their self-esteem.
Teachers and learners of English are given free, compelling learning materials, drawing on football-based content from the most exciting football league in the world.
