Transferring Foreign Referee Licence
To register as a Referee with
Volleyball Ireland with a qualification from a different federation, (except
for Referees with FIVB grades, please see the bottom of the page), you must be
given a Volleyball Ireland referee grade.
You can gain a Volleyball Ireland referee grade in three ways:
•
By attending a Grade 3 Volleyball Ireland referee
course
•
Upgrade by Assessment
•
Or by sending in evidence of holding an overseas
refereeing qualification and being given
a Grade 3 Volleyball Ireland refereeing grade, subject to an upgrade by
assessment
If you have an overseas
refereeing grade and want to referee in Ireland, you will need to send the following
information to the Volleyball Ireland
Refereeing Commission email: educationtraining@volleyballireland.com.
All documents need to be
translated to English if required.
·
A
copy of your relevant Volleyball Refereeing qualifications (hard or
electronic), which should include the following information:
·
The
name of the awarding body/national federation
·
The
level of the course
·
The
date the course was passed
·
A
copy of the course syllabus (breakdown of the hours, modules and content
covered)
When you
have provided us with this information, and your Certificate has been
validated, Volleyball Ireland will automatically give you a Grade 3
qualification. You will then be assessed as a 1st Referee at a Division
2 game. Following a recommendation from the Assessor, you could then be fast
tracked to Grade 2 or Grade 1 with a further assessment at a higher level game.
It is also compulsory that you attend a Referees Refresher course within a 6
month period.
For
Referees with FIVB qualifications, you will only need to send in a copy of your
Certificate and your FIVB grade will be printed on your Referee registration
card after you have registered as a Referee with Volleyball Ireland.

have any further questions or queries, please contact educationtraining@volleyballireland.com
