Referee
Recruitment
&
training courses
Some of the world’s biggest Football Associations use Whistle Academy‘s referee recruitment courses to help drive a tangible increase in referee recruitment numbers, whilst ensuring training quality is high across the board.
The way people learn has changed forever. Potential referees now want to be able to access their learning at a time and place that suits them. They want to be able to revisit some of the more complicated Laws of The Game, re-watch videos of real life match incidents and test their knowledge of officiaiting through engaging quizzes.
You too can become a Whistle Academy Partner, benefiting from a catalogue of recruitment courses which can be housed on your own Learning Platform to help drive your referee recruitment numbers – and it wont cost you a penny!

We've been working with the IFA since 2020. Over 90% of new referees stated that our courses were either 'Excellent' or 'Very Good'.
