Level 1 Referee Course- This course has been split into three categories designed to cater the needs of various referees in the basketball community.

Once a participant has completed and acquired the 75% pass mark minimum on the theory test, they can then be assessed for their practical component in the following categories.

Association Intermediate- Assessment takes place under junior domestic competition conditions.

Association Advanced- Assessment takes place under senior domestic competition conditions.

Association Representative- Assessment takes place under WABL conditions with the shot clock in operation. Referees at this level are eligible to referee at WABL level.

State Representative (Formerly Level 2) – Upon completing this level of training, you will be qualified to referee at an SBL standard.

National Representative (Formerly Level 3) – Upon completing this level of training, you will be qualified to referee at a NBL/WNBL standard (Note: this level of training can be carried out by BWA but is more commonly undergone by Basketball Australia.)
