LEVEL ONE REFEREE COURSE (FULL VERSION)
This is a 10–12 hour course (four, three-hour sessions) where we take an in-depth look at the Laws of the Game (LOTG) and an explanation of how you can start refereeing. The full course covers more content than the online version. This includes a test at the end of the course. This course is aimed more for the people who are likely to take up refereeing.

LEVEL ONE REFEREE COURSE (ONLINE VERSION)
This course has been developed for those that do not have time to attend the longer course and smaller referee centres, but also for the people who are likely to take up refereeing. You can do most of the course at home, in your own time. The date set for the course is the only session you physically attend a session with an instructor. This session will be about 3 hours in duration and includes the last couple of modules (including an outdoor session), discussion on other parts of the course and refereeing in general and a test on the Laws of the Game (LOTG). Ideally you should have completed the online part of the course before the date of the offline part for which you registered.
