Courses

The FIT Referee Commission personnel are responsible for all aspects of FIT referee and referee coach education and training.

This typically includes program development, delivery, quality control, management, promotion and NTO development.

All FIT Referee courses are managed and delivered by the Referee Commission personnel or approved presenters.

The FIT Referee Commission can host face to face or virtual workshops for FIT Introductory and FIT Intermediate coaches.

Some NTOs have their own programs, as referee education, training and accreditation is particular to a nation that has the ability to conduct it.

NTOs self-sustainability is a priority for FIT, particularly with regard to the delivery of FIT / NTO Technical education and training programs. All NTOs coach accreditation programs are mapped with FIT Referee competencies to ensure global consistency.
