Judging Course

Work continues on the new judging course. A team of experienced judges and curriculum developers are updating lesson plans, building on the work done by those who created the original course. Testing of the new course is scheduled to start in July. We are still on track for a fall 2025 launch. Watch for updates in upcoming newsletters.
