Becoming an Assessor -
Having gained a substantial amount of on-field experience, it is considered a natural progression for a senior referee (level 5 or above) to assist in the further education and development of colleagues by becoming an assessor. Many referees embark on a career as an assessor whilst still officiating and this ensures an even smoother transition into the assessor role.
By accepting the responsibility of being an assessor, you are able to support active colleagues and contribute to their progress and development as referees. By becoming involved in the assessment of referees, a most valuable service is being offered to less experienced referees who will appreciate the positive and constructive help passed on to them by more senior colleagues. It is a most satisfying and enjoyable role.
It is necessary for an assessor to attend an approved Course of Instruction. This Course not only prepares the assessor for this role within the game of football, but also provides a recognised qualification as a Football Association Registered Assessor.
