Welcome to the awards section of the KCPA website, where you will find information on how to go about applying for a PAGB distinction.
As a follow up to the KCPA’s successful PAGB led APM Advisory day that took place on May 14 2017 @ Ditton community centre, I would like to bring you more information regarding future assessment dates –
Adjudication’s

The hosting federations will have more details in due course on their own website, but don’t forget you need to be booked well in advance, often a year ahead, as these events are popular.
The first step is to complete the KCPA-APM-APPLICATION-FORM
and ask your club Chair or Secretary to complete their section for the form, complete your section and return to our Acting KCPA awards officer, Alan Cork CPAGB with a SAE. He will then send out the main form to you so you can apply for the PAGB distinction.
Full quailifying periods are as follows :
CPAGB 2 years
DPAGB 3 years
MPAGB 5 years plus held DPAGB for 11 months.
