This course is for those who wish to become County Referee Observers (formally known as assessors).

The role of a referee observer is to help referee development by reporting on referees performance, identifying strengths and areas for development, in addition to providing specific advice on how a referee can improve.

Reports submitted by referee observers are used by The County FA to appoint officials to County competitions as well as inform decision on referee promotion.

This one day course will help new observers understand the importance of accurate note taking and introduce the competencies that a referee is expected to demonstrate at an appropriate level of football.  Candidates will be tasked with watching a live refereeing performance where their notes and findings will be used to produce an observation report on the official.

Following the course, candidates will need to produce three further observation reports of a satisfactory standard in order for their qualification to be completed.

Lunch is provided.

Please note to access this online application, you will need a FAN (FA Number).

Please be aware that if you already have a FAN, and create another FAN, this could cause delays in being confirmed on the course and any qualifications being awarded.
