Do you need to attend all four days?

No preparation or previous knowledge is required, simply turn up, listen and take part in any interactive exercises and discussions.How much does it cost?
We’re trying to keep costs to members to a minimum, so that lots of people can attend and take advantage of this opportunity. The first 3 days held on Zoom are FREE! There will be a small charge for the in-person day, which will be invoiced later in 2024.Who is running the course?
The course will be run by LABBS and BABS Judges in collaboration.Are you thinking of applying to the judging programme in BABS or LABBS?
We have announced our new joint recruitment and training programme. It is expected that anyone accepted into the training programme will have already completed the Foundation Course. If they have not had the opportunity to attend the course prior to application, they must attend a course at some point in their training.Education terms and conditions
