Centre Award: GNC has Umpire Coach Assessors that can help coach you towards sitting the practical assessment. 

Zone Theory: Umpires must hold the Centre Award to be eligible to register for this exam. Exams are held in May and August annually.

Zone Award: Once Theory is passed, you may be coached further in order to be assessed for Zone Award.

NZ Theory: Umpires must hold Zone Award to be eligible to register for this exam. Exams are held in June and September annually.

NZ C Award (and above): Umpires must achieve NZ Theory and pass yoyo fitness test at the minimum requirement or above. Intent to sit this award must be notified to the Zone Umpire Lead.
