KC Judges Education Programme

Judges Education Programme - Breed Shows

Published on 7 January 2025

The Kennel Club has announced the launch of its comprehensive online platform - the Judges Education Programme (JEP) Breed Shows.

The Judges Education Programme Breed Shows online platform will allow judges to easily upload their information, access essential educational resources, and stay current with the latest requirements and developments in breed judging. With this new system, breed clubs will no longer need to maintain their own A1/2/3, B and C judging lists. Instead, all individual judges will upload their information and experience on the JEP Breed Shows platform.

Developed and enhanced over several years, the Judges Education Programme (Breed Shows) supports the education, approval and listing of every breed show judge. It caters to everyone from aspiring judges who have yet to step into the ring, to open show judges, those awarding Challenge Certificates and judges of championship show groups and Best in Show. It will also benefit show secretaries searching for judges, as all judges from levels 1-6 will be listed in one place on the Find A Judge section.

Breed Education Co-ordinator

The Kennel Club Breed Education Co-ordinator (BEC) acts in an administrative role on behalf of breed clubs to support the breed club obligations under the JEP, co-ordinating all aspects of breed specific education and support for judges.
