Course Overview

The Club Judge course is aimed at educating Australian Sailing members in the basics to conduct fair and consistent protest procedure at a club level.

To become accredited as an Australian Sailing Club Judge you are required to:

• Be a member of an Australian Sailing affiliated club.
• Attend a Club Judge Seminar, or
• Supply to a Letter of Endorsement from your AS affiliated Club or class association.

If you are currently unaccredited and yet experienced and proficient as a Judge at Club level, you may wish to accredit via submitting evidence of prior seminar attendance or a Letter of Endorsement from your club or class association (within the last four years). Evidence can be submitted to Australian Sailing via the Club Judge Accreditation Form.
