UMPIRE EDUCATION PROGRAMME (2025)

It has been decided that Umpire Education will now come under the accreditation of the ICC Education system, ensuring that all umpires will have a globally recognised accreditation.

This new system runs and operates as follows:

• CI introduction to Umpiring and Scoring (this course is a basic online module) and is the very basics of both disciplines, suitable for those who may be supporting kids cricket).
• ICC Umpire Foundation Course - participants complete this course online via EdApp.
• ICC Umpire Course Level 1 - participants complete online elements via EdApp and two face-to-face training days.
• ICC Umpire Course Level 2 - participants complete online elements via EdApp and two face-to-face training days.
