TDC will host a USDF "L" Education Program for Judge Training with Session A starting this Friday, October 4th, through Sunday, October 6th.
The purpose of the program is: (a) to provide pre-training for future judges and to fulfill the USAE requirement for entering the "r" judges training program;
(b) to provide a list of graduates who can show accreditation for judging schooling shows ("L" or "learner" judges);
(c) to give the competitor, trainer, and instructor a broader insight into the evaluative techniques of judging; and,
(d) to provide ongoing and refresher education for licensed judges.
The L-Program is comprised of five sessions. Sessions A, B, and C are open to program participants and auditors. Sessions D and E are open to participants only.
Auditors are welcome. Auditing is an excellent choice for people who do not plan to judge, but who want more information about evaluating dressage performance. The price to audit each session is $40 for the weekend, or $25 per day.
