WFTDA Certification

So, has anyone begun the certification process? As of January it has become open (to apply) for all refs whether your league is currently WFTDA or not.

It also depends on the level of cert you want level 1 - level 5. There is alot on WFTDA website about it. I took online test but those were easy not sure how the actual cert is we had a ref take the written and pass. (he is not allowed to talk to anyone about the test so I don't know what is on the test for sure). Then fail the skills test. But, good note on that is you can take the skills test when ever and the written is every 30 days. So good luck to all. Does anyone know if you still have to apply for the test or can you just take it?; ▶ Reply to This

I have heard from one WFTDA ref that out of everyone they knew who took the test, not one of them said it was easy.; ▶ Reply to This

To take the test I also do not think you need to apply as much as simply ask a WFTDA rep.; ▶ Reply to This
