The Kennel Club is providing a series of webinars for judges who wish to learn more about the Judges Education Programme (JEP) Breed Shows which is set to be launched online by the end of the year.
These webinars will cater to various groups, including breed education co-ordinators (BEC), new judges, single breed judges, multiple CC judges and clubs and societies.
The new Judges Education Programme Breed Shows is a comprehensive platform which will allow judges to easily upload their information, access essential educational resources, and stay up-to-date with the latest requirements and developments in breed judging.
Helen Kerfoot, Chief Canine Health, Events and Activities Officer said: “We are excited to be able to launch the new online Judges Education Programme Breed Shows by the end of the year. We appreciate there may be concern by some judges regarding the new platform, however the webinars will allow us to be able to provide a walk-through for judges, exhibitors, clubs and other enthusiasts ahead of the launch and also offer further guidance on the new platform.
“The webinars, which will be free, will be available to join online via Microsoft Teams. We hope that judges, BECs and members of clubs and societies are able to take advantage of this offer and that they are able to use them to alleviate any concerns they may have.”
Webinar schedule is as follows;
