We are thrilled to release the dates for our CIEC Courses for 2025, some are already fully booked so if that was the location of interest please get in touch with the office to register interest for future courses.
The Equestrian Coaching Certificate pathway endorsed by UK Coaching and provided by 1st4Sport is a standardized approach across equestrian disciplines and focuses on the coaching craft in the context of equestrianism.
It usually contains a course with a taught element – both in the classroom and practically alongside the development of a coach portfolio based on clients you are coaching – and an assessment which looks at the your coaching skills (whilst coaching elements from the technical syllabus at each level) and also requires the submission of a portfolio.
It does not assess knowledge or expertise in relation to horse care and welfare albeit demonstration of an appreciation of equine health and welfare is necessary as a requirement to register for these qualifications either demonstrated through experience or previous qualifications.
