Event Details

Join Sarah Spencer-Williams FBHS and Fred Hodges BHSI for an in-depth training day designed to help coaches prepare for the BHS Stage 3 and Stage 4 Coaching Assessments.

This is a unique opportunity to learn from two highly respected coaches, assessors and coach educators, gaining valuable insight into the assessment process and the standards expected at these levels. Throughout the day, all sections of the coaching assessments will be demonstrated, discussed and analysed, with opportunities for participants to coach, ask questions and receive constructive feedback.

The training will cover the practical teaching elements of both assessments, including:

  • Group and private dressage lessons at Novice and Elementary level
  • Group jumping lessons
  • Lunge lessons
  • Simulated cross-country coaching
  • Lesson planning, delivery and communication skills
  • Assessment expectations and common pitfalls

Whether you're actively preparing for an upcoming assessment, supporting candidates through the process, looking to refresh your coaching skills, or simply interested in learning more about BHS coaching qualifications, this day offers valuable insight and practical experience.

Participants will have the opportunity to coach sessions during the day and, where appropriate, may be signed off for relevant sections. Those who prefer to observe are equally welcome and will gain a clear understanding of the requirements and expectations at each level.
