I will need to know when you took the course and who the instructor was. Bear in mind that a given certification only lasts until the rules change for that event. For instance, if you took the full course at the Nats last year you were certified for AMA events until 12/31/2012 and FAI events until 12/31/2011. At this point, in order to be certified to judge FAI, you would need to log on to the NSRCA website, pay the $5 fee and download the FAI Re-certification course and test. Once you have passed the course (80% is required) I will update your records as being certified for FAI until 12/31/2013. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thanks,</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Jonathan L.
