You will learn the laws of the game, get some practice in making decisions, how to line and then take an exam on what you have learnt.
Its nothing to worry about, I would recommend reading the magic book LOAF to make sure you understand it.

Actually, you should read the LOTG because the LOAF are a little out-of-date 
Our course had a fair bit of practical work (controlling incidents, free kicks, penalties etc.). We even had to do a pitch inspection whilst the pitch was buried under a foot of snow 
I guess it varies from county to county, our only practical bits were and Law 6 (the assistant referee) Law 9 (ball in and out of play)!
When I first passed my exam, we had 8 weeks of 2 hours once a week going over the laws no practical or anything.
We had to take an eye test and count some black squares on a bit of card. We than had two exams to do one on paper and one oral talking through our decision.
Its not like that now

@John White did you do an eye test? We didn't have to do one!My course also only had those two practical elements (Law 6&9)
No we didn't have an eye test either!
That's the same as mine, but we didn't do a video test! Just the mcq
Well the first time I qualified was in 1994, When I re-qualified in 2012 there was no eye test
This was how I did my course in 2000
