Post online module requirements: Once the COVID-19 restrictions are eased, candidates will be invited to a number of 4-hour practical sessions. These sessions will be lead by one of our Referee Tutors at central locations around the country, where you will be coached through refereeing a game.
Further support: You will be invited to a number of online workshops which will help support your learning. These will be hosted by our highly experienced Referee Tutors.
Assessments: There is an online theory examination with 50 True/False questions where you are required to achieve a 70% pass mark. Once this has been completed and you have attended the practical session, you will need to referee 3 games with a Level 3 or higher referee or approved Referee Coach who will confirm your competency for the Level 2 Referee Award.
