Which publication serves as DECA's guide to its comprehensive learning program and includes competitive events guidelines?

• A. DECA Guide
• B. DECA Direct Online
• C. DECA Direct Weekly
• D. Shop DECA

Answer: (A)

DECA Guide is the official handbook that explains how the learning program is organized and lays out the guidelines for competitive events. It covers what students and advisors do within the program, the formats and rules for events (including scoring rubrics and how role-plays, tests, and project-based events are run), and practical details like eligibility and timelines. This resource is what members rely on to plan preparation and participation, ensuring everyone follows the same standards. The other options are publications or a store, not the official guide with event guidelines.
