Read about each level of education listed below.

3-hours Rules of Golf Workshop (Basic Level)
This is a beginner programme that introduces the basic concepts and language of the Rules of Golf. Examples, videos, animations and exercises are used to introduce the student to the principles of the Rules and how to use the Rules book (Player’s Edition). The programme is ideal for juniors, beginners and golfers who have had no previous experience with the Rules.

1-Day Rules of Golf Workshop (Level 1)
This programme builds on the experience of Basic Level and introduces the key reference manual for golf referees: the Official Guide to the Rules of Golf. This publication is the key to understanding how the Rules of Golf are applied on the course. In addition to introducing some of the fundamental rules through examples, videos and exercises, Level 1 teaches the student how to use the Rules book (Full Edition) as well as the Official Guide to the Rules of Golf effectively when the Rules book alone does not provide the answer.
Certification:
Attain a minimum B Grade Pass on the Level 1 Exam; and
Complete 20 hours of satisfactory on-course experience as an Official at Club-level events.

3-Days Rules of Golf Seminar (Level 2)
