You can ask you refereeing department for some mentoring or the most certain way is to apply for promotion. It's usually around now the application processes start so an email to RDO and / or a keen eye on your county's socials
Cheers! You'll get observed once you get on the promotion scheme. I did get one at L7 mainly as a check on a new ref (I think) but doubt they'll happen much these days
Knees are sore but otherwise feeling fine, aside from being awake from 5 thanks to my daughterMore importantly as per your OP.. How are you feeling?
Happily debrief has gone well, few minor comments but backed all the cards. 2 hours till I'm off to Manchester now!
I sent a email to the RDO, but not heard back from him. Think I sent it on Wednesday/Thursday. It’s something I really want to get on.

90 mile round trip for me today, no observer though.
The promotion season now matches the playing season and runs August to May, so you'll need to apply when that opens.
That's when the marking season runs but surely activity to get people started begins before then?

You will be observed once you join the County FA promotion scheme, with the next promotion year starting in August.
At level 7 in England, no observations but sometimes a mentor visit will be arranged.
The difference is that a mentor does not usually complete a fully detailed report (with or without a mark) whereas an observation counts towards promotion.
Mentors are allocated for newly qualified referees and also when the CFA think a mentor visit would be beneficial.
So, second match done. Are you still able to walk?
needed?
?
Got through it surprisingly well! Cracking game as well
During pre-season I thought?
Unusual to get people in for promotion during the season, outside of special circumstances?
Some (most? all?) CFA's now want you to have done around 20 matches before they'll even put you on promotion - so there's some promotion benefit to just getting some games under your belt even if you qualify mid-season, just to make sure you'll definitely be accepted on next season's scheme.
