The pass mark for the exam is 75% and those who achieve a pass are eligible to be registered on the ANKC Junior Judges Handler List of accredited Junior Handler Judges. [Refer to Part B – Regulations in the Junior Handler Handbook].
The applicant must have been a member of a controlling body for 5 years and must be over the age of 18 years
