BJCP Course 2015?

[giacomo]

The BJCP website states that the new guidelines will be in use from November, so if we plan an exam in September, it will likely be done with the 2008 ones?

[Partridge9]

Exactly,

we were probably more like the end of september / start of october for the exam with the way the timetable was working out.

I'm just onto Ali in the UK, I'll keep you posted here.

We are trying to get the new exam sorted. Looking for a date mid November.

I'll keep you posted.

We might be one of the first on the new guidelines !

[giacomo]

From a general point of view, I think going with the new guidelines would be a sensible idea: what's the point of studying and preparing on a set of guidelines that are "out of date" the very same day we take the exam?

From a general point of view, I think going with the new guidelines would be a sensible idea: what's the point of studying and preparing on a set of guidelines that are "out of date" the very same day we take the exam?

Because you can't just throw a switch in the proctor's head's/palette's that says "Now you are qualified to proctor the new guidline beer styles"

Its a subtle thing judging beers! The basic qualification is that you can judge to a style. The latest guides have thrown up a large number of new styles and also some styles have subtle changes! It is not an easy job for a judge to change.

Also remember that before you can sit the tasting exam you need to pass the online exam!

Is this ready yet?  Will it be ready by November?

For the BJCP a set of guidlines is one thing but a re-jigged, calibrated on-line exam is another matter!

[giacomo]

Not saying it's not the case from a very selfish point of view, though, if we could manage to have the exam on the new guidelines, that would mean that we avoid the following "re-base" step. If that's not possible, then well, what's the issue

If I'm not too late to put my name down for this, been out of the loop for a while, otherwise I accept it's "first up best dressed". (I have also filled in the "doodle")
