HOW TO GET STARTED
To become an accredited referee, there are two things you need to do.
First, you’ll need to take the online Laws of the Game test. A free training module, it provides a basic overview of the Laws of the Game and common interpretations. Taking roughly 45 minutes to complete, successful candidates will receive a certificate identifying they have demonstrated awareness.
Once you’ve passed the Laws of the Game test, you’ll need to register for a Level 4 Referee course. This is the entry-level course and will build on your knowledge. Lasting 5-6 hours, no assessment is required, but you must be a minimum of 13 years old to attend.
