1. Candidates for IU status who have already attended a seminar but still require a written test pass.

2. IUs who need to pass the IU written test as part of the requirement for renewal of status in accordance with ISAF Regulation 34.4.1(c). Those IUs whose renewal is due in 2008 will receive a reminder letter. However, all IUs whose renewal is not due this year should note that a test pass this year will be valid for renewal of status in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Below is a table of events where the IU test can be taken. 

Please inform the ISAF office as soon as possible as to which event you would like to attend. If you cannot attend any of the events listed, please inform the ISAF office by sending an email to www.sailing.org/contactraceofficials with a list of the events that you plan to umpire at this year, so that we can arrange an individual solution for you between now and November.

Please note that if you do not pass the current IU written test, you will be given the opportunity to take it again, but not within six months after the first attempt.
