Judges Training & Exams

National Judge Training Schedule 2022

Please remember:

It is compulsory for a judge to attend one National Judge training per year.
If a judge has not attended a Judge Training day for one year, he/she is hidden from the Judges List and must attend two Judge Training days in the subsequent year in order to be re-instated on the Judges List.
After a period of two years without attending National Judge training, a judge will be required to attend two National Judge training sessions and judge at a level below their current list or, alternatively, sit the exam appropriate to their level before re-instatement can occur.
If a judge has not attended National Judge training for more than two years, the judge is removed from the list and must apply to the Judges Committee for re-instatement.

Log Book

The updated Dressage Ireland Judges Log Book can be found at the bottom of this page for download along with print instructions. It is important for judges to get their Log Book signed as proof of attendance of National Judge Training.
