The Level 2 Professional Judging Course is the next level of judging achievement and is a professional judging accreditation.

Completing the highest-level Judging course gives the participant access to 2 levels of judging accreditation based around logged hours of experience under the mentorship of qualified State and National Head Judges.

This course focuses on increasing the professional knowledge of the course participants to be able to work in a State and National level competition environment with a complete knowledge of all rules and regulations. Inter-active modules enhance the course participants learning outcomes and will cover all aspects of professional judging and Head judging.

The L2 Professional Judging Course consists of online learning modules with knowledge checks and interactive exercises.

Further to the completion of this course the course participant is required to complete hours of practical judging at State, National or International events.

Course participants can hold a current Foundation Judge accreditation, but this is not mandatory. Hours of experience can be logged prior to course completion.
