The Grand Prix Team-Lead-in-Training Position (TLTP)<\/span><\/h1>\n

Team-Lead-in-Training Position is a step in the Level 3 certification process. Its goal is to provide a meaningful position. We want judges with this certification be able to use it. And we want to reward judges who have it. This is something we can\u2019t offer to a large group of people, but we can offer it to our future generation of Leaders in the Program: the prospective Level 3 judges. We want to take the best of both worlds: like in the old days, with the Team Lead Check, the TLTP is only for people on their road to Level 3. Like in the NNWO, as the TLC intended to be, the TLTP grants judges the opportunity to use their certification.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obtaining the TLTP is one of the later stages on the road to L3, and it is expected that a judge who obtains the TLTP will panel for Level 3 within 6-12 months. In the period between obtaining the TLTP and testing for L3, the judge will be exactly what the title describes: a Team Lead in a Training Position, being granted at least one but ideally several opportunities to Team Lead on Day 2 of a Grand Prix.<\/span><\/p>\n

A judge with the TLTP will be authorised to perform all tasks a L3 can, including back-ups and HCEs. This means however, that the judge needs to prove sufficient knowledge and understanding of some of the Level 3 Qualities already, which usually don\u2019t get tested until the panel. A judge who fulfills the selected list of requirements (see checklist section), can then apply for the Step 1 – the TLTP interview. After passing the interview, the judge can then test for the Step 2 – the TLTP practice exam.<\/span><\/p>\n

A big change to its former version, the TLC, is that a candidate can authorise back-ups and HCEs even while testing for the TLTP Step 2.<\/span><\/p>\n
