Keep checking back for updates on up and coming Referee Course dates: http://www.englandtouch.org.uk/wp/index.php/refereeing/referees-planner/
This is an Introductory course for Touch Referees. No previous experience is necessary and everyone is welcome. This 3 hour course includes a discussion about the basics of the game and of refereeing, and then an ‘open book’ style exam. Those who pass the course (which includes on-field assessment either that day or at a later stage) will receive a European Level 1 certificate and badge.
Ideally interested people will have attended and passed the Level 1 course before attending a Level 2 course. Also referees will need to have done a season of refereeing prior to the course. This is a full one day course and will consist of a presentation, interactive sessions, theory & practical assessment (either that day or at a later stage). Those who pass the course will receive a European Level 2 certificate and badge.
Level 3 is an advanced level course and one of the highest that can be awarded within the Touch Europe Referee programme. Ideally interested people will have attended and passed the Level 2 course before attending a Level 3 course, and have done a minimum of 2 years practical refereeing experience. This is a full two day course and includes interactive sessions, theory & practical assessments and a written exam. Those who pass the course will receive a European Level 3 certificate and badge.
