OFFICIALS CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
The Canadian Curling Association (CCA) recognizes the need to develop and implement a National Curling Officials Certification Program. The object is to establish standard guidelines for the training and development of curling officials who will be capable of officiating at a Northern, Provincial or National championship.
It should be noted that the purpose of a rules and officiating course is not only to train officialsbut also to make players more knowledgeable about the officiating system and rules of the game.
