The BHS encourages our Accredited Professionals to undertake further qualifications and continuing professional development (CPD) to enhance your skills and knowledge. Our APCs are required to complete six CPD points annually.
CPD covers a range of topics to support you and your horse and develop key skills.

We encourage you take responsibility for your CPD by reviewing your skills on a regular basis to highlight areas for development.
We also encourage you to attend CPD and training events that will take you out of your comfort zone to broaden your thinking and development.
