AS a rule of thumb, if you are reasonably good, learn from constructive criticism, are athletic and committed, then you should be reffing Level 9 or above in your third season, and perhaps L.10 or L.11 in your second. The most important thing, however, is to enjoy your rugby at whatever level fits your profile and ability. Never turn down a lower-level match as demeaning - when I was at school, I was once refereed by Roger Quittendon in a midweek game, after he had reffed a 5-Nations international the previous weekend.

It depends on your society, and your ability.
The society has to assess you, and most are short of assessors. At the bottom grades you can usually get bumped up fairly rapidly if you are good enough.
If you are really good, you should get fast-tracked.
Wherever you fit in, make sure you enjoy it. Good luck.
