Technical Officials

Volunteering through officiating is hugely rewarding by not only helping competitors enjoy the sport, but also to gain great personal experiences across the country and beyond. Technical Officials are the referees of the sport, providing valuable support at triathlon events. They help to create positive race experiences for all competitors by ensuring that races are safe and fair.

There are three Technical Official courses in Great Britain, one of which is delivered by Triathlon Scotland – Local Technical Official- and two of which are delivered by British Triathlon – Regional and National Technical Official. Through the Technical Official Education Programme, we aim to develop a workforce of high quality, confident and competent Officials who display consistency across the country and have the opportunity to progress from local to international officiating. We also provide a pathway for developing Motorcycle Technical Officials.
