Attending an official FOC-sanctioned clinic is part of a three step process for achieving a referee rating. In addition to the clinic, one must achieve a passing score (90%) on the written exam (both the general section and one or more weapon-specific sections), and a practical examinations. Further ratings improvements (1-10) can be obtained at a later date by being evaluated in a practical setting at tournaments. Additional details can be found here http://www.fencingofficials.org/blog/become-a-ref/ratings-process/
The seminar will provide a broad understanding of the role, responsibilities, and duties of a referee.
