CTCPA Judges

---

To become a certified CTCPA official, individuals must:

• Achieve a minimum score of 90% on the online multiple-choice examination.
• Score 90% or higher on the written long-answer examination, administered by the Judging Coordinator.

All individuals seeking new certification as a CTCPA Certified Official must complete either:

• An in-person judging clinic, where examinations will be reviewed.
• An online webinar, followed by both the online multiple-choice and written long-answer examinations.

To re-certify as a judge:

1. Click the recertification link.
2. Enter your first and last name along with your email.
3. Complete the online examination.

Important Notes:

• You are allowed only ONE attempt at the online exam.
• If you fail, you must attend an in-person judging clinic or complete the online webinar before retaking the written portion.
• Upon completing the test, results will be sent to the CTCPA Office, and the Judging Coordinator will contact you to complete the written scenario portion of the exam.
• If you do not pass the written portion, you will be required to take an in-person clinic or the online webinar, but you will only need to retake the written portion.

• Once certified, your certification is valid for two years.
• After two years, you must complete the examinations again to maintain certification.
• If you were previously a judge but did not re-certify within the two-year period, you must complete an in-person judging clinic or online webinar, as well as the required examinations, to regain certification.

To be recognized as a CTCPA Official, you must:

• Be a member in good standing with both a local sanctioned association and CTCPA on an annual basis.
• Maintain membership in both organizations to obtain and retain Judge/Official status.
• Retake and pass the examinations with 90% every two years.
