So you've decided to become an accreditated racing official, what next? The Racing Officials Accreditation Program is the only accreditation program for racing officials in North American and focuses on flat, harness and steeplechase racing. There are three components to becoming accredited:
Education + Examinations + Experience = Accreditation
Each individual's journey to become an official is different. Some may have previous experience as an officials and others may complete the education component first. The key is that all three parts must be complete prior to fullfilling accreditation. Take some time to review the necessary requirements for accreditation through the Education tab. If you have any questions or just want to learn more, feel free to contact the ROAP office at 859-224-2702 or contactus@horseracingofficials.com
