You can’t do both, you have to decide once you reach level 3
level 4 now (if you've been at 4 for 5 or more years)

Once you are deemed good enough for the football league you have to choose if it is as a ref or assistant. My friend Gary Beswick was promoted to the football league at the same time as Sian and they both then got promoted to the PL at the same time. The year they were promoted Gary was assessed as getting 97% of all decisions correct, Sian got 100%. To say the assessments are tough at this level is an understatement. Someone will basically go through every decision made by the officials, be it throw ins, goal kicks or corner kicks. Gary got to ref Darlington V Spennymoor in the Northern League which was a title decider and someone complained on social media that he was not experienced enough to ref a game of this magnitude. The weekend before he had been assistant for City V Manure
The problem is that at every level of football there is promotion and relegation for officials except in the PL where you have to basically be totally incompetent or make a right balls up ie Stuart Atwell giving a goal that did not go in. So you can be relegated from the EFL if you are in the bottom band of officials following assessments & if you are in the top band in the National League you are likely to be promoted (you also have to pass an interview on the laws of the game, which some have failed). Every year, in my opinion the top 2/3 from the EFL should be promoted and likewise the bottom 2/3 from the PL relegated. If they are good enough they will soon be back.
Now for Michael Oliver. This will not go down well here at Bluemoon but I think he is the best ref in the PL. I have ran the line for him a few times in the Northern League in his earlier days and he really is the nicest person you could meet. However, back then, he was not the most confident & after every game you would always get a phone call from him asking what he could do better.

I agree with the lack of confidence thing with him early on. I remember Joe Hart nutting him and he got away with it.

Thanks for this insight. Back in the day, I ran the line in the Unibond League. The top referees stand out.Once you are deemed good enough for the football league you have to choose if it is as a ref or assistant.

I remember lining for Uriah Rennie. His instructions were so quick, I didn't take them in. Also Jeff Winter, a nice enough guy, but he was star of the show at Macclesfield v Chorley in the FA Cup, and that was just fine for him.
Another Football League referee, whose name I can't remember, was an absolutely awful person. We were at Leek Town, and he was on first name terms with their female official. I flagged for a throw in. He didn't spot the flag, so I kept it in the air until he had seen it. Some 30 seconds later he spotted my flag and shouted at me to put it down. One of the teams nearly scored.
He totally glossed over the incident when I asked him about it at half time. After the game, instead of staying with his two linemen for refreshments, he took himself off to chat up the female official again. I sure hope he was assessed that day, but I doubt he was.
