Since 2009 we've certified approximately 160 modelers in the AMPS judging process. Additionally, during the past year we conducted fiver certification classes at AMPS regional shows. We are offering Judges Certification at the 2013 AMPS International Convention. This process offers candidates an opportunity to take a closer look at the AMPS judging criteria, participate in a critiqued judging session and in two judging shifts (as a field judge and table captain). Upon successfully completing the certification process the candidates will be awarded certification as an AMPS Judge.

If you are a modeler who is interested in judging, improving their modeling skills and attending the 2013 AMPS International Convention at the Atlanta Marriott Century Center, Atlanta, GA, 18-20 April you should consider participating in this certification process. The classroom portion of this process will be conducted 18 April 2012, 7:00-9:00 PM at the Atlanta Marriott Century Center, Atlanta, GA.

Please shoot me an e-mail through the AMPS Web-site at http://www.amps-armor.org/ampssite/sendMail.aspx?Who=22, if you are interested in becoming an AMPS certified judge.
