UK Coaching Certificate

The UK Coaching Certificate is the new future of coaching, this has been brought into over 30 sports to improve the quality of coaching across the UK to provide and build safe and effective coaching systems for participants in all sports.

We currently run two levels, Level 2 and Level 3.

Level 2
The UKCC Level 2 is a generic coaching qualification, although not specific to show jumping it provides a firm foundation for coaching over all diciplines, this is a good way to start enhancing your coaching skills.
It is a four day course, based over two months, and a further assessment day 6-8 weeks from your final workshop day. As part of the course you will need to complete a portfolio which involves coaching a rider of your choice, for four linked sessions. This needs to be completed before your assessment day, ready to submit to Equestrian Qualifications Limited. You have to achieve UKCC Level 2 before applying for UKCC Level 3 Show Jumping Specific.

Level 3 Show Jumping Specific
The UKCC Level 3 ShowJumping specific is the next qualification after UKCC Level 2. Level is 3 is highly intense and involves a sufficient level of technical knowledge and experience.

Before going forward for Level 3 everyone will have to go through the pre-screening enrolment which has been put in place to ensure you are aware of the technical knowledge that is required for the training.
The qualification is to ensure the coach is able to plan and prepare riders over a season’s competition.

The technical syllabus will require a coach to take a rider and horse to 1.20m level, including working the horse and rider correctly on the flat through to the competitive environment. The coaching skills expected at Level 3 are more refined and are based on learning, psychological and skill acquisition theories.

Coaches applying for Level 3 showjumping specific should have considerable coaching experience and a good background in the sport as a competitor or coach/trainer/instructor. The Level 3 course comprises of eight days of training spread throughout the year with several practical assessments. A portfolio of evidence based on a number of tasks must be submitted before final assessment.
