A great place to start is the Senior Module of OEC.  Eligibility to test in Jan is defined as follows: “A patroller who has a “Join Date” on their  National Personal Profile of 1/1/2018 or before, qualifies to take the test on January 12th 2020. That means that a patroller who went through the OEC class during 2018, passed their final OEC test, and patrolled last 18/19 season.”
