It is much tougher than it used to be. At the "D" license level they actually have a 33% rate of "Not Ready" evaluations. Another fraction of the candidates only receive state level certification and must re-test to achieve national certification. In the old days (20 years ago), if you showed up you pretty much just passed.

Additionally, any license above D now requires a 9 day residency program for completion. The content and emphasis on how to coach and team management is real. The expected level of technical and tactical proficiency is pretty high. This was not the case before Klinnsmann took over.
