Judges Certification
Judges certification is a big step in the USPCA and we are proud of our judges! See below forms for requirements of certification.
Applications for approval as a certified regional or national judge are submitted online!
**Please note: DO NOT attach JPEG files (pictures of forms taken with your cell phones) to your submission. These will no longer be accepted. They are too hard to read and print out. Attach PDF or scanned copies of paperwork only. Thanks in advance
**************************************************************************************************************
NON TRAINER OPTIONS
To Chief Judge a PDI Trial, you must be a National PDI judge AND a Level I or greater Trainer.
To Chief judge a Detection Trial, you must be a Regional or National Detector Judge AND be a Detector Trainer OR Level II or greater trainer .
We are not offering an option to the above requirements for those that are not certified as trainers but otherwise meet qualifications:
1) You must have certified in a like USPCA Trial at least five times. (I.e. if you are applying for PDI, you must have certified in 5 PDI trials)
2) You must be a novice CHIEF judge under a certified Chief Judge at a like USPCA trial with not less than 10 k9's. Chief judge must provide documentation that the novice was tutored.
3) You must have judged at least 200 K9's in each venue. If you are wanting to Chief Judge Explosives, you must have been a handler or trainer of an explosive dog. SO you also must have judged an ORT phase as well as packages.
4) Must retake and successfully pass the national judge PDI/Detector judge (which ever one you are applying for) test administered by the judges committee unless it was taken within the last three years.
5) Must have been a scorekeeper for a like trial with at least 10 K9's participating.
