The ILR is pleased to present a new performance
opportunity: "Camelid Companion Certification.”
"CCC" is a level of achievement certification
program consisting of levels and "tracks" that
camelids earn by demonstrating mastery of tasks
associated with each "track." Certification
trials can be offered in addition to traditional
classes at shows; at packing or
driving gatherings, or as stand-alone events in
public or on member ranches. Achievements earned
can be recorded through the ILR (International
Llama Registry) UAP (Universal Awards Program)
for lifetime achievement awards and possibly
viewed on animals ILR pages.

provide a forum for increased participation

trainers and performers and people who want to
participate in a program that measures
achievement.
c) To
