BEV is the first discipline to have UKCC accredited coaches. The Scottish Qualification Authority have sent the certificates to The Scottish Equestrian Association for the first pilot course run in March/April 07. Once SEA has proof of the Child Protection Courses and First Aid, the full Equestrian Certificates will be awarded.

Several UKCC courses are now completed but certificates cannot be handed out until evidence is produced of First Aid and Child Protection courses. These must be sent to :

Fiona Rawson, SEA Office, Titwood Farm, Kilmaurs, Ayrshire KA3 2PN

CONGRATULATIONS - names will be put forward once certificates awarded.

SEA has succeeded in gaining a massive funding grant to help candidates through these qualifications. They must also be congratulated.

The courses can only be run by those on the Coach Educator list and Assessed by Accredited Assessors. For list please click here

UKCC Level 2 Courses

Candidates should be aware that the UKCC courses are geared to the techniques of coaching. It is important that you already have a good grasp of the technical content of the course which is placed at Novice Level of competion. You should already have been workling with a Group at this level and be confident in your lunge techniques.

EEAC runs first Pilot UKCC level 1 course in Scotland

Easterton Equine Activities Club hosted the first pilot UKCC training day for Level 1 coaches in Scotland. This was also the first discipline to attempt the new candidate pack. It struck terror into the hearts of the candidates but they were soon reassured. It is not disimilar to what we have been using for the last 2 years, just looks more!

Lots of interactive sessions produced good feedback by the end of the day, with a good mix of practical and classroom based exercises.

I believe we are well placed to offer these courses as the principles are not so new to us as many other disciplines.

The information on the coaching page should help a little to clarify what is happening on the UKCC front.
