The VIQRC Head Referee certification course is designed to teach volunteer VEX IQ Robotics Competition (VIQRC) referees the nuances of the VIQRC game rules and how VIQRC tournaments are run. Qualified and certified Head Referees help provide a consistent experience for participants within and across local, regional, national, and World Championship events. 7 hours of PD credit.
VIQRC Head Referees are expected to recertify each season.
The 2025-2026 VIQRC Head Referee training course is available at training.recf.org. For access to courses, you'll need to create a new account in that system. Once you're successfully logged in, choose the VEX IQ program from the list on the home page, and select the VEX IQ Robotics Competition Head Referee Certification to begin.
