Mkhonta said the Caf B Licence is an intensive course which usually takes 14 days to complete but they had to finish it in seven days.
The course structure included theory, oral presentations and practicals that were conducted at the Conway College grounds.
However, Mkhonta, who is the National Football Association of Swaziland technical director, revealed that he was impressed by the level of knowledge and zeal shown by the Zimbabwean coaches.
He challenged them to improve the standards of the game after enhancing their knowledge by taking part in such training.
“The coaches did their best because this is an intensive course that takes 14 days to complete but we did it in seven days.
“We are going to send the reports to Cairo and then the results will come back here after two weeks.
“Participants should pass with a 60 percent mark, or above, to get their certificates. The course is structured in such a way that practicals consist 60 percent of the total mark, 20 percent is theory, 10 percent comes from oral presentations and another 10 percent is given for demonstrating knowledge of the laws of the game.
“But it doesn’t end there. The coaches should go out there and deliver. The technical director should monitor the progress they are making and they should be involved in coaching for at least two years before they can proceed to the Caf A Licence course,” said Mkhonta.
Zifa board member development and former Warriors’ defence pillar, John Phiri, was the guest of honour at the closing ceremony.
Meanwhile, former referees Wilfred Mukuna and Gladmore Muzambi are expected to leave for Egypt for a week-long course for match commissioners.
The course will run from July 3 – July 9 in Cairo.
