The Arbiters Commission of AICF has received requests to conduct an additional Arbiter Refresher Course for the 2024-25 period. Many arbiters missed the refresher course held in March-April 2024, which is preventing them from officiating in FIDE Rated events.
After deliberation, the Commission has decided to conduct an online Arbiter Refresher Course for those arbiters who have not completed the course. The validity of this course will expire on March 31, 2025, and it will only take place if there are at least 20 participants with respective state association recommendation.
Arbiters who hold a FIDE Arbiter License prior to April 1, 2024, and have not undergone the refresher course are requested to express their interest by emailing arbiterscommission@aicf.in by October 31st, 2024. The Online Refresher Course is scheduled for the 3rd week of November 2024, contingent upon meeting the minimum participant requirement.
