WHY TAKE THIS COURSE? Being a Certified Lure Event Operator sets you apart from 99.9% of the operators out there running dogs. Aside from graduates of this professional training curriculum, people who are lure operators or coursing event providers have never had any formal training at all, and have gained their experience and knowledge in a variety of ways and from multiple sources. This creates a lack of continuity and standardization across the industry and leaves dog owners at the mercy of untrained people who may or may not be able to create a safe experience for their dogs or put on well-organized events.
So aside from training, what does certification give you? Your designation as a Certified Professional Lure Event Operator creates:
•Immediate credibility
•Mantle of authority and trust
•Provides qualifications in all aspects of coursing events
•Creates an aura of distinction, competence and integrity
•Recognition and respect as a professional
•Designates you as accomplished and experienced
•Validation in your profession
This is an intensive and comprehensive study course with quizzes, downloadable handouts and materials, a final exam, and a printed Certification that will be emailed to you upon completion. Stand out in your field and learn from the very best!
