The fa Referee Course
Your first step on the refereeing ladder.
The FA Referee Course is designed for anyone aged 14+ who wants to join the tens of thousands of referees who officiate at local parks, on the English football pyramid and on the international stage every week.
As a referee you play an integral role in ensuring all participants enjoy their match day experience, helping create a competitive, fair, safe and enjoyable playing environment.
The FA Referee Course was where it all began for me. The course provided me with the skills and confidence needed to progress up the refereeing ladder and become a Panel League Referee. I would strongly recommend this course to all aspiring match officials.
