| EQL awards the following Coaching Certificates (Equine) on behalf of the British Equestrian Federation |
In
July 2002 the Government’s commissioned Coaching Task Force reported
that coach education schemes in the UK varied in terms of quality of
content, delivery and assessment resulting in the lack of a recognised
professional framework for coaching.
The United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (UKCC) was one of the key
recommendations from the Coaching Task Force, leading to a number of
sports developing coaching certificates.
The
British Equestrian Federation (BEF), the sports national governing body
was tasked with developing UKCC qualifications for the Equine Coach.
Over the last 4 years the BEF has worked with their Coaching
Development Action Team, made up from representative of BEF member bodies,
to develop three levels of Coaching Certificates.
Levels 1, 2 and 3 have been accredited by the Qualifications and
Curriculum Authority onto the National Qualifications Framework.
In addition, Levels 1 & 2 have also gained UKCC Endorsement for
their overall delivery of training and assessment procedures.
| * EQL Level 1 Certificate in Coaching (Assistant) - (UKCC Endorsed) |
* EQL Level 2 Certificate in Coaching - (UKCC Endorsed)

EQL Level 3 Certificate in Coaching -(UKCC Endorsed) |

Within
each level there is a generic strand and specialist pathways.
Which pathway you choose will depend upon your involvement within
equestrian sport. For example, at
Level 1 a coach may choose the generic riding strand, or if their specialism
is carriage driving choose an award with a dedicated (specialist) pathway.
Or if they work within a Riding for the Disabled environment, they may
chose a therapy specialism.
The
routes to qualification allow coaches to be assessed working within their own
environment and concurrently facilitates cross learning and appreciation of
the breadth of the industry, allowing candidates to explore flexible routes to
learning and qualification. For
example, a Level 1 Coach who has an award in generic riding, may choose at
Level 2 to have a specific award working within a particular context such as
Vaulting. All technical syllabi
have been approved and mapped to each other for parity and consistency. |
