Officiating journey: step 1

Step 1

To start your Officiating journey, you must complete a Level 1 qualification, with the discipline of your choice, choosing from
Field Judge, Track Judge, Timekeeper, Starter, Race Walking, Endurance and Photofinish.

Only one discipline needs to be completed, plus an online Health & Safety course which you should book onto first (before your discipline module) and the online Safeguarding in Athletics course.* Endurance officials should also complete the Risk Awareness course.

Book on a course via our Athletics Hub booking platform (£20 per person per course).
