Congratulations! It’s such a good feeling isn’t it!I found out today I was promoted to L4
Got my email as well, promoted to Level 4
Congratulations!I found out today I was promoted to L4
My son and one of his best mates also got the nod. A level exam in the morning, level 4 promotion in the afternoon!
Got my L4 third time round! So so happy I stuck it out when I got the L5 email this time last year and in January.
Perseverance is often key. When looking back in a year or so’s time it may be you will feel that in events, the promotion came at the right time.

Hey Sam, I've just received the full list and I don't see your name in there on either the Successful or the Unsuccessful. Which suggests that either you weren't nominated by your CFA in the first place or you've somehow slipped through the net. Fingers crossed it works out well for you.
More generally, 157 candidates were successful with their nominations, whilst 19 unfortunately missed out.
Does the list get published at some point? Or does it remain on a need to know basis?

@Russell Jones Is that a high acceptance rate compared to recent years?
Yes. The FA normally email out the full lists to everyone once all 4-1 promotions have been confirmed. As yet the assessment days for 4-3 and 3-2 are yet to take place so until that happens the list can't be published

Until a couple of years ago, it was highly unusual (certainly in my CFA) for any of the nominations to be rejected. More recently though, with a greater number of candidates attempting the jump and the minimum average assessment mark needed staying at 70, there was a short period where around a quarter to a third of those nominated were not accepted.
Unsurprisingly, given that the average assessment mark required has now been raised to 71.5, we are therefore returning to a situation where the vast majority of those nominated are accepted.
I’ve already updated my bio. So so excited!
So when do we get to see the list ?
Hi, thanks for this. Do you mind if I drop you a message?
Once all promotions have been confirmed across the 4-1's. There's assessment days for 4-3/3-2 next week so I anticipate the following week a list will come out.
Another tenner? Strange, because they want to keep observers but you'll all be retiring early at this rate!Well done to all that have gained promotion.
Ironic as well @DavidObs that a letter from Peter Ellsworth has gone out today advising of a £10 increase in Observer Fees (Step 3-6) from next season.
Those who were Observers at Step 2 before the FA went to Scouts will remember that it was £60 a game then, along with travelling expenses at 0.45p per mile. However, I can honestly say that the £10 extra from those Observing at Step 3-6 was fully justified imo because of the extra things required to do, which predominantly was with the MCS/KMI’s, reviewing all from MOAS footage etc, as well as writing/submitting more Extraordinary Incidents Report. However, the increase at Steps 3-6 is most welcome.
