Complete the online trainings (on your own schedule before your in-person training session) and then attend your scheduled in-person session. After completing these requirements you will be given a referee badge by your instructor and you will receive a referee licence from U.S. Soccer. This marks the official completion of your certification process and eligibility to officiate matches.
