Due to an abundance of C1/C2 Candidates, two different ratings will be held on both Sat and Sun.  You will be notified of which date you will be rating within a week after the close date; when all applications have been received.  If you are in need of a certain date, please indicate so on your application.  We will try and honor all requests but, it will depend on order applications are received, and the over all needs of those rating and the raters.  Those taking their C2’s will most likely ride on Sunday.
