Livestock Quality Assurance –three options for 2020 completion
For 2020 ONLY, YQCA Online Training: ODA has allowed livestock exhibitors (ages 8-19) to utilize the YQCA online training modules to fulfill the requirements of Quality Assurance. There is a cost ($12) to each exhibitor that would like to utilize this option in order to complete their certification. It is payable online by credit card after the member has successfully completed the training and test. In order to gain access, please email Andrea atrees.139@osu.edufor her to send the instructions on how to log on and complete this process. After completion, another email to Andrea will be required with the certification number for her to mark your Quality Assurance as complete for 2020. This will only count for 2020 and there is no multi-year test-out option.
