This will be arranged a soon as possible to suit both parties and will be carried out by a current senior qualified Assessor of the BJA, who is not linked to the Area of the individual. If, after the initial assessment, areas of concern have been confirmed, the individual will have a second assessment within 3 to 6 months. The second assessment will include a theory section, which will be the same format as the existing examination required for referees at that level.
