Created by Rohith Krishna S, Modified on Thu, 20 Jun at 11:27 AM by Richard Mason


We are pleased that you wish to take up the challenge of becoming a Referee within Devon FA and the team and I will be here to support you through your refereeing journey. 


The Referees 'Basic Referee Course' is now available and all courses are available here we will add further courses throughout the year. 


The cost of the course is £160.00 with completion of the online Safeguarding Course, an in date DBS check and completion of the Online Laws of the Game Course. These are pre-requisites before booking the face to face aspect of the course. 


The links for the Safeguarding Course, and the link for the Online Laws of the Game Course are available below:

Safeguarding For All


Online Learning

The online learning has five sections (modules) and will take approximately 90 minutes to complete. There are lots of videos to demonstrate how the Laws should be applied, activities to help reinforce the important points and, at the end of each module, there are some questions to test what you’ve learned.

The online learning can be accessed at https://falearning.thefa.com/course/view.php?id=1804

If you are under the age of 16, you might find the information at the refereeing help Centre useful when logging in.

Please do ensure that you are logged in on your FAN so as to avoid the learning being recorded on someone else’s FAN. You can check this via My Account, or at the top of The FA Guide to the Laws of the Game course page where the name of the person logged in is displayed. Should you be logged in as someone else, please log out and log back in using the email address on your FAN and associated password. If you need any support, please contact us before starting the course.
