Take your officiating to the next level
LAQ offers Workshops which are generally open to anyone that has an interest in officiating regardless of skill level or affiliated Centre; however, age or accreditation level restrictions may apply.  Instruction on track and field events combining the theory of rules with their practical application form the framework for most Workshops which can be offered for different levels.  Depending on the level and delivery of the Workshop , attendance can assist in various pathways or needs e.g. maintaining current level of accreditation, gaining higher accreditation level, or simply used as an introduction to officiating or as a refresher for the experienced Official.

LAQ Workshops  are flexible in format and normally offer at least three (3) event modules (Throws, Jumps, Track).  Some Workshops offer modules for Recording, Race Walk Judging, EDM and Photo Finish.  Most will have sessions run concurrently or consecutively depending on the number of attendees and Presenters. All LAQ Workshops and Seminars are offered free of charge; however, registration is essential.  Registration can be completed online through the relevant link(s) below.

Online Officials learning is also available through the Australian Athletics Officials Education Scheme AAOES.  The LAQ Workshops would be a useful tool prior to completing the online learning.
