For the time being, certified coaches can purchase the Registered Coach Status. The Licenced Coach Status is only required if you work as a Coach Developer, evaluate Rider Levels or are coaching a national team. As an active certified coach, you would receive a 15% discount off the cost of the Licenced Coach status – bringing the fee to $169 – and may hold any level of EC Sport Licence needed for any other roles. If you are simply coaching and not competing as an athlete or an owner of a competitive horse, the bronze status may be all that’s needed, reducing the cost of the Sport Licence required (Coach Specialists were required to hold a Silver sportlicence in 2020.)
