The Hockey Ireland Fundamentals course has been designed to be as accessible as possible, whilst providing education and support required to start on the path of umpiring.
To achieve your ‘Fundamentals of Umpiring Award’ you must take the following steps:
The online rules test must be completed before an individual can sign up to the Fundamentals of Umpiring module 1. Fundamentals module 1 must be completed before signing up to Fundamentals module 2, an online Q and A session.
Once an individual has completed their online rules and Fundamentals Modules 1 and 2, they will be recognised as a club umpire (a club umpire means an individual has the skills to begin umpiring unappointed club games but will not yet have been assessed). They can then access provincial workshops here.
