Please note that the current term to comply with the 5 Year Education Portfolio policy expires on December 31, 2017.
This means that all Conformation Judges that were licensed, or on permit, in 2008 or earlier, that have already complied with this policy for the term 2008 to 2012, must submit a new 5 Year Education Portfolio (for the term 2013 to 2017) to the Shows and Trials Division at CKC Head Office no later than December 31, 2017.
Policy and Procedures, Chapter VII, Section B, Subsection 8:
8. Licensing Maintenance for All-Breed, Groups and Breed Judges
c) Licensed judges are encouraged and expected to engage in a self-directed program of professional development. Recognizing that a judge has a commitment to on-going education, all judges will maintain an educational portfolio with appropriate documentation and/or certification. This portfolio will be reviewed and approved by The Canadian Kennel Club at the end of each five (5) year cycle.
Should a judge fail to meet these requirements, the judge’s license will be held in abeyance until such time that the requirement is met.
Judges that were issued their initial judging permit after 2008, will be required to submit a 5 Year Education Portfolio within 5 years of the year in which the initial permit was issued.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Event Planning Department in Shows and Trials.
