The FA Referee Course (Black, Asian, & Mixed Heritage)

The FA Referee Course is designed to equip new referees with the key skills and knowledge they will need to be able to referee grassroots football matches safely and effectively. It is for people aged 14 years old and over, who want to referee mini-soccer, 9v9 and/or 11v11 football.

The course comprises online learning on the Laws of the Game and face-to-face training. All online learning must be completed before attending the face-to-face training.


Mandatory Online Learning (Pre-Course)


Please note, this must be completed via the FAN account of the individual attending the course - and not a Parent/Guardian's FAN account. If the online learning modules aren't showing on the FAN provided, then your booking request may be rejected.


If you have completed the online learning via a Parent/Guardian or duplicate FAN account - then you will need to contact FA Education via education@thefa.com before booking onto an FA Referee Course.


Laws of the Game Training


CLICK HERE to access The Laws of the Game learning modules


The online learning has five sections (modules) and will take approximately 90 minutes to complete. There are lots of videos to demonstrate how the Laws should be applied, activities to help reinforce the important points and, at the end of each module, there are some questions to test what you’ve learned.


Safeguarding Training


CLICK HERE to access Safeguarding for All course


Safeguarding training must also be completed prior to your attendance on our FA Referee Course - however, if you have an in-date 'Safeguarding for All' and/or 'Safeguarding Children' England Football qualification already, then you will not have to re-complete the safeguarding training until your course expires.


All FA Referees must have in-date Safeguarding training - in order to officiate within affiliated football.
