  • If you plan to continue on to Student Judge training, you may replace this with the more detailed Veterinary Assessment required for Student Judge qualification. (You can download the Veterinary Assessment form from the Downloads Page)

Keep careful records of your progress and submit certificates after each engagement.

• After each engagement, send your signed certificates back to the Guild within 28 days.
