Hughes was one of only 27 coaches to earn the Pro License in the latest cohort alongside the likes of Champions League winners Nicky Butt and Nemanja Vidic, working under course leader Guy Whittingham.
Andrew joined the Terriers as First Team Coach on 1 June 2016, adding a wealth of experience of the English leagues to the technical staff after a long and successful playing career as well as coaching experience at Bolton Wanderers, Rotherham United and Crystal Palace.
Alongside Head Coach David Wagner and assistant Christoph Bühler, Hughes agreed a new three-year contract with the Club in late May 2018.
