The next course will probably be in early 2013. There will be an induction/administration evening and the course itself will start a couple of weeks later. At the end of the course, there will be theoretical and practical examinations. In addition, candidates will be informed of courses to obtain the "Safeguarding Children in Football" certificate, if not already held. Please register your interest on our form (see below) and we will contact you. The course fees are detailed on the "Frequently Asked Questions" page.
If you are interested, please register your interest on this site form and you will be contacted with confirmation. Your reply will only indicate your interest. It does NOT commit you to anything unless you confirm acceptance on the course.
Staffordshire F.A. is offering "Safeguarding Children in Football" workshops and distance-learning sessions to enable young referees, and those older referees renewing their qualification, to complete the guide. A certificate from one of these workshops is compulsory for ALL referees. If you are an existing referee, who needs to obtain this certificate, or or a prospective referee who will need the certificate, in order to start refereeing, then please e-mail Bob or Stuart (see below). Similarly, if you need a Criminal Records Bureau check (also now compulsory for all referees and prospective referees, aged 18 or older) before being able to referee, then also e-mail the team. |
