The International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched the latest addition to its Training and Education Programme – the ICC Umpire Level 1 Course.
The vision for the programme is to empower and equip ICC Members to create their own workforces while inspiring and encouraging participants to choose cricket as their number one sport of choice and fulfil their potential as coaches and umpires.
The Training and Education Programme provides a series of courses which ICC Members can use to administer and deliver training and education programmes to suit their own unique needs. The ICC Umpire Level 1 course follows the formation of the ICC Coaching and ICC Umpire Foundation courses as well as the ICC Coaching Level 1 course. It can now be arranged and conducted by Members with the assistance of identified ICC Umpire Tutors.
Globally, there are more than 75 Level 1 Umpire Tutors who are eligible to conduct the Level 1 Umpire course. It is hybrid in nature, taking place online, in a classroom-style setting as well as in-person to facilitate role play and in-game simulation.
ICC General Manager – Development, Will Glenwright said: “This marks another milestone in the evolution of our Coach and Umpire Education Programme with the launch of the ICC Level 1 Umpire’s Course.
