The BJCP Education and Training Directorate has released new Judge Training and Study Programs. These Beer and Mead training programs are based on lessons learned from existing training efforts and are intended to serve as starting points for both course organizers and those studying by themselves. Kudos go out to Assistant Education and Training Directors Amanda Burkemper and Julie Lawson for pulling this material together. A similar training outline for the Cider Judge Program (which is still in development as of this posting) will be released at a later date.
