JUDGES EDUCATION PROGRAMME

 

From 1st January 2022 it is a Kennel Club requirement that every judge fulfils the requirements of  Level 1 for the  Judges' Education Programme (Breed Shows):

exhibitors,  show societies and judges.

 

The Judges Education Programme introduces a structured and logical approach to the training of judges, incorporating a step-by-step approach.

 

Kennel Club Regulations implementing the Judges Education Programme came into force on 1 January 2021. Seminars undertaken prior to this date can be accepted for use when progressing via the Judges Education Programme. However, judges are required to complete the criteria at each Judges Education Programme level before moving on to the next.

 

Stewarding is a requirement for both levels 1 and 3 and therefore a more fluid approach can be taken here.

 

Level 1

Requirements to meet this level:

 

• Minimum of five years proven interest in pedigree dogs.

• Attend a requirements of a dog show judge seminar (but not mandatory to take and pass examination).

• Attend a conformation and movement seminar.

• Complete a minimum of two full-day stewarding appointments

 

Please will all judges on our B and C lists check that they meet these requirements, if they don’t, please let our Judges Co-Ordinator, Lesley Layland know, Tel:  lesleylayland@yahoo.co.uk
