To undertake a Bowls Australia re-accreditation course (Umpires or Measures/Markers) your Officials qualification must not be more than 4 months expired. This course is only suitable for those wishing to be re-accredited.
All accreditations last for four years and after this period of time, you will need to successfully complete a re-accreditation course to maintain this qualification.
What is involved?
If you decide to undertake any of the courses, you can expect:
- Some pre course readings
- 4-hour small group session facilitated by one of Bowls SA qualified Presenter and Assessors
- Practical and theory assessment
- Ongoing communication from Bowls SA
The assessment is based on the Bowls Australia Laws of the Sport theory examination, and practical evaluation through an established competency-based assessment system and self-reflection.
