Yes, in these ways:
- USGA Rules Education workshops count toward recertification, which allows Referees to work Golf Canada events.
- USGA exam: a score of 90% or higher counts toward national certification. The Referee does not receive a Golf Canada certificate, but a note is added to their file.
- Questions about provincial recognition go to the relevant Provincial Association.
- For the Level 3 webinar, people who scored at least 75% on the PGA/USGA Rules of Golf (100-question) exam between 2022 and 2025 were also eligible.
