Before officiating any practice games you are required to have a Basketball England Membership, pay for a table official licence and complete the eligibility requirements.

All the information you need to license as an official can be found here.
Learners should table officiate games where they can receive feedback from level 3 co-officials or a Table Official Coach in order to prepare themselves for their assessment games.
Only when the learner has completed the online modules, passed the examination, passed the scoresheet assessment and officiated a number of practice games should they attempt their 4 assessment games.
Assessments are full regulations games (4 in total) that are supervised either by the table official you officiate with (co-official) or a qualified table official who watches from the sideline.
This table official should be licensed and at least be a level 3 qualified table official or an approved BE Table Official Coach.
Two of the assessment games shall be completed as a scorer, and the other two assessment games shall be completed as a timer.
Games should ideally be full regulation (4 x 10 minute quarters, full court). It is possible to substitute two out of the four games, for equivalent length games in approved central venue leagues.
You have 12 months from signing up for the course to complete all elements including the assessment games.
Upon completion of the online modules, examination, practice scoresheet assessment and completing the 4 assessment games, you will be qualified and receive an e-certificate.
