Tyne and Wear County Association manage the process for progression towards the Into and C Award qualifications. The North East Region manage the process for progression towards the B Award qualification. The first step on the Umpire pathway is gaining the Into Officiating Award followed by the C Award. Please see the FAQs documents right for guidance on how to progress through the Into Officiating award and onto your C Award in our county. Having gained your C Award you are then able to umpire in the T&W County Adult Leagues. The T&W League Progression document right, provides information for newly qualified C Award umpires on how to develop their umpiring and move up the leagues. |

C Award Umpires who have gained experience in Division 3 and wish to progress to their B Award should contact the County Umpiring Secretary to register their interest. They will be reviewed in Division 3 and advised on their next step which may be to gain more experience at Division 3 level, progress to Division 2 with a Mentor, and/or complete the B Award Course. They will also be advised on opportunities at Regional Level in the north east which are appropriate. It is strongly advised that any umpire considering progressing to their B Award consults an experienced Assessor or Mentor for advice before registering on a B Award Course.
Throughout the training and progression process umpires will need the help and assistance of county and regional Mentors. Whilst the County Umpiring Secretary can provide contact information for Mentors it is the trainee’s responsibility to contact a Mentor and to organise matches for themselves. Any Umpiring fee for matches should be offered to the Mentor.
As well as Umpiring there are other opportunities available in Officiating. Experienced C and B Award Umpires are eligible to qualify as Assessors at both C and B Award level. Alternatively, there is the option to qualify as a Technical Official and undertake tasks such as scoring, timing or compiling match statistics at regional, national and international matches.
