Delos Reyes, however, said the AFC 'C' course is a pre-requisite before proceeding to AFC 'B' course.

"If makapasa sila sa AFC 'C' course, after two years pwede na sila mag take ug AFC 'B'," she said, adding that the AFC 'C' license is one of the main requirements upon coaching the Philippine Football League.

The lectures are being done at the under-construction Davao City Sports Complex while the first practical assessment will be held at the Tionko Football Grounds today.
