Why and how-
As it has been deemed unfit for purpose and outdated, the GCCF processes for training its Judges needed to be dramatically updated. It was considered, far better & quicker, to be trained by Multi-Breed and not single breed lists as was in the old scheme.
The JASRG, appointed to review, create and design the new scheme have called on the four educationally acknowledged teaching and learning styles –
- Visual–using images to process information
- Auditory-listening and discussion
- Read and write: reading for information and making notes
- Kinaesthetic–doing/ hands on

Council approved the new scheme, however, to ensure the scheme will work to the benefit of all, it was decided a Pilot JPG was needed to use the processes with its candidates. As JPG 6 had candidates in various levels it was selected and has agreed to administrate the Pilot from Sept 1st 2024.
The 3 levels are:
- Student Judges ( BAC Steward as was)
- Junior Judges ( Pupil Judge as was)
- SBJ – (Specialist Breed Judge)
All JPG6 candidates will be following the new Training Pathway rules, pertaining to whatever level they are, which are listed in the Quick guide to minimum qualifying requirements document.
Full S6 Judges have been notified and furnished with the examples of Tutorial Assessment forms as the emphasis is on the candidates verbal discussions with the Full Judge. In the new process, BOTH the candidate and Full Judge give written feedback on what has been discussed with emphasis on what has been learned.
Any Judges or GCCF Stewards who wish to discuss/consider entering the Pilot please contact the JPG Secretary:
