A little more about it
Qualify to judge cider and perry through the BJCP entrance and practical judging examinations. Passing the online entrance test only grants eligibility for the judging exam; it does not by itself confer BJCP membership or the final judge credential. Successful judging-exam candidates receive the applicable judge designation.
