Here in the Bahamas to referee at the lower levels (juniors 8-11) anyone can referee. But when you get to the national level and high school (what you would call varisty) you have to be certified. And that comes by a written exam, a phycial and a rpactical exams. Most don't pass the physical but pass the practical and a re cerified eitehr Level one (the top), level two or level three. At the very bottom are provisionl referees who have only passed the written test or none at all.
