Referee education modules are suitable for those candidates who wish to gain the knowledge and theoretical qualification for their next level referee award.

The module is focussed on detailed application of the current rule set, attendees are expected to know the basic rules before attending at these levels, the module is intended to sharpen the referees understanding and therefore application accurately. The module will end with a theory examination, some of which will be elements you will have covered previously and some on the skills you have attained during the module. The practical element will be done separately at events identified by the NRC.
The module is a coach revalidation module for all levels of coach who fully qualify at a referee grade higher than they currently hold including the practical examination.
