Qualification Equivalency

Following requests for assistance concerning the comparability of qualifications delivered across the globe, World Rugby is pleased to provide this guidance for use by member Unions.

Global Coaching Qualifications

World Rugby serves the global coaching community in a variety of ways. As a leading international sport federation, it was decided to explore the development of a collaborative system for professional recognition which establishes transparency and trust between member Rugby Unions and examines the equivalence of the coach education systems which they operate.

Global Match Official qualifications

World Rugby is committed to the development of Match Officials in all our member Unions; after all no referee means no game! Following the recent publication of the Rugby Coaching Qualifications Global Mapping and Equivalency Report we decided to undertake the same exercise for Match Officials to explore and analyse referee education and development globally.
