Promotion
For a qualified referee to be promoted from level 69 to levels 6 through 4 they are assessed locally by their local football association. To be considered for promotion, a referee must referee 20 games over one season, and three of these games must be assessed by a qualified assessor. The referee must also attend training conferences and complete a written exam. Should all these assessments be completed successfully and to the required standard, the referee is promoted to the next level. For a referee to be promoted from level 5 to level 4 they must complete a fitness test set out by the FA. Promotion from level 4 to level 1 is based upon marks awarded by assessors of matches they officiate in and written examinations which they participate in. Individual league committees meet to discuss who is recommended for promotion at the end of each season.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
