The time is NOW to plan on ATTENDING the upcoming ACEF TOY GRADUATE INSTITUTE! Feb 3-7, 2010. This year we will be in WILDWOOD, NJ where the Atlantic Ocean Classic Cluster of Dog Shows is held, Feb 3-7, 2010. FIVE all-breed shows so when you're not in class the opportunities are endless to discover and learn about the 161 AKC breeds.

REMEMBER...

The ACEF Graduate Group Institutes are the ONLY INSTITUTES in the Country where students can attend EVERY SINGLE BREED IN AN ENTIRE AKC GROUP at one Intstitute for an unbelievable tuition!

The Graduate Institutes offer a unique opportunity for anyone wanting to learn about an ENTIRE GROUP of dogs. The amount of knowledge gained in about 4 -5 days is enormous.

The Judges Education Chairperson for each breed of a Parent Club is first notified of our plans for a particular Group Institute. The JEC selects a Breed Presenter to present their breed.

Due to the new criteria for component credit instituted by AKC, the ACEF had to change our past format and then examine several options. Even though the ACEF still considers the "hands-on" workshop following the verbal presentation EXTREMELY important, we had to evaluate our student needs.

We felt the most economical way to meet the needs of our students, and to ensure that our students are able to attend their choice of breeds within a complete group, is to have an entire Group at an ACEF Institute.

ACEF has had to expand to 5 days for a Group Institute to cover every breed in a Group without overlapping or holding 2 breeds at the same time!

We now offer the Verbal Presentations only for each breed at our Group Graduate Institutes. You will receive a component credit from AKC for each breed attended.
