50% Scholarship for the IFI Course "CAS Scout & Kaderplaner"
Evaluate transfers, discover talents, build squads: Together with the International Football Institute (IFI), LAOLA1 is giving away a 50% scholarship for the "CAS Scout & Kaderplaner" course in Vienna, worth almost 1,750 Euros.
Behind every major transfer lies systematic work: scouts and squad planners discover talents before everyone knows them, evaluate players according to clear requirement profiles, and assemble squads that win titles.
This exact craft is taught in the course "CAS Scout & Kaderplaner" by the International Football Institute, where top lecturers from European elite football share their knowledge, from former Austria sporting director Manuel Ortlechner to talent coordinators from Borussia Dortmund and the scouting manager of VfB Stuttgart.
Your Scouting Career Starts in Autumn
The course begins in Vienna on November 1, 2026, and thanks to blended learning consisting of e-learning and three on-site blocks, it can be completed part-time in six months, making it feasible alongside work, sports, and family.
With a bit of luck, you'll be able to attend at half price.
Important: The registration deadline for the course is October 18, 2026.
From the Lecture Hall to the Scouting Department
The International Football Institute has been training specialists and executives for professional football for years; its graduates now work for Bundesliga clubs, in youth academies, and scouting departments across Europe. The Vienna campus is located in Seestadt and is easily accessible by public transport and car.
