Nov 27-28 NW2-NW1 San Jose Nosework, opens Oct 12
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: "I completed my ORT certificattion less than 14 days before this NW1's opening date. Can I enter this NW1?"
NACSW'S ANSWER: "If the ORT is less than two weeks before the opening date of the NW1, it may not be recorded yet. In that case your entry would go in as FEO, putting you at the bottom of the wait list. You can tell the host that you passed the ORT, which will change your entry from FEO to titling, but you would still be at the bottom of the wait list. " Sorry, but congrats to everyone that finished their ORT at the Oct 10 test!
PS (your host speaking, now): Note that if this NW1 doesn't fill (and you never can tell!), then all of the waitlist will get in!
