The first step in becoming a certified official is to be (or become) a current PDGA member. Then you must pay the examination fee, which is $10. You can pay online by credit card at PDGAStore.com, or you can mail a $10 check with your request to the PDGA office.
Once we receive your $10 we will mail or email you (your choice) the exam. You then mail or email your answers to the test marker, who will in turn notify you and the PDGA office if you pass the test. Once you have passed the test, you can serve as an Official and as a PDGA Tour TD, and the PDGA office will produce and mail out your Official's card.
Will you have to retake the exam each year? Current membership is required to remain a Certified Official. If you do not show as current by April 1st each year, you'll need to retake the exam to become certified again.
