What we offer...
High quality coaching by professionals.
Alongside their studies students are provided with high quality referee coaching sessions and mentoring which are provided by professional officials, such as Steve Martin (EFL Referee). There are numerous opportunities for students to referee games and tournaments including at St George’s Park over the year. 
|
Earn money. Study for free.
The course is free and open to males and females aged 16-19 year olds. If you are not yet a qualified referee, then you will complete the referee qualification in the first year of the course. Better still, students will have the opportunity to referee matches and get paid!

Gain qualifications whilst training.
This is the first course of its type in the UK and really is a great opportunity for 16-19 year olds to study alongside developing their officiating skills. The curriculum we offer provides the students the opportunity to complete the nationally recognised Level 3 BtEC extended diploma (3 A level equivalent) in sport. Alternatively, students can choose to study for A Levels.

Maximise your refereeing development.
Here at the Staffordshire Refereeing Academy we provide the opportunity for students to excel in their academic studies and maximise their refereeing development. Working in association with the Staffordshire FA, King Edward VI High School Stafford and the University of Wolverhampton we provide access to the very best provision to allow every student the opportunity to achieve their potential. 
Excellent facilities.
We have excellent facilities here at the Staffordshire Refereeing Academy. We use the local gym for strength and conditioning training and students on the course will be able to follow the same training programme as a professional referee. We will visit the sport science facilities at the University of Wolverhampton for fitness testing. |
