Training

STSV

Judge training 2024

 The planned adjudicator training course, which was originally scheduled to take place in spring 2024, has been postponed until the autumn due to insufficient registrations. We regret this postponement, but are confident that we will be able to hold a successful training course in the autumn.

Despite this change, we would like to inform you that the training will take place as planned on 1 and 2 June. 

 

As a judge candidate, you will spend the first two weekends in May learning the basics in four parts of the course. Together with the existing national judges, you will also complete an advanced training course on 1 and 2 June. After successfully passing the final examination, you will then judge two STSV tournaments as an additional judge and be assessed by an expert.
