Referees Scheme Page
This section contains information about the EBSA Referees Scheme.
The purpose of the EBSA Referees Scheme is to standardise the training and certification of referees across Europe by setting out minimum expectations and standards for refereeing for all EBSA member countries.
All EBSA countries are encouraged to promote and develop referees, and many member countries have examiners and tutors who are can deliver refereeing seminars and to conduct examinations. In countries where there are no examiners available or present, EBSA Referees Subcommittee will ensure that seminars and examinations can be conducted.
Any candidate who attends an official seminar and is successful at examination with an EBSA Examiner is permitted to become a Class 3 Referee, under the EBSA Referees Scheme. Referee Membership runs for a period of two-years and is renewable via Referee’s own national governing body.
