What happens after the course?

1. Candidates should gain practical experience
2. Once they are ready, they will be assessed by a SNSW assessor, usually at an SMNE meet
3. Completed paperwork is forwarded to SNSW and eventually a 'Technical Official' badge and plastic card will be received. Candidates are licensed to officiate as soon as they have passed their assessment.
