What other Players have said

As a young footballer looking to further be involved in the sport. This course is a perfect way to do this and it also enables me to extend my opportunities in Football.

I thought the course was brilliant. Got all the information I needed and the information was broken down very simply and I enjoyed the few colloquialisms.

Really enjoyable! Didn't think I would enjoy as much as did! And I feel the foundations are now in place to go and hopefully have a successful career as a referee!

This course was easy to navigate and understand due to the clear explanation of rules and procedures. This meant I was able to complete the course from home without any help.

Informative, and enjoyable, it also gives you a different perspective to the thought process a referee has to go through...
