Ontario Equestrian has created a mentoring and training opportunity for Instructor – English & Western candidates!
Meeting weekly for 8 weeks, Instructor and Competition coaches can now work through all of the training recommended to prepare for Instructor and Coach certification. Working together in a virtual environment, candidates will work together with experienced Master Coach Developers Helen Richardson and Danielle Yaghdjian.
Candidates can register for each of the training pieces separately to allow for completion of the training on a schedule that works for each individual. Taking the recommended courses in this order will make the learning process simpler for new candidates.
The cohort will kick off the training on November 20, 2024 and will work together until late January 29, 2025. At the conclusion of the cohort, candidates may choose to continue training and work with a mentor or move forwards to book and complete an evaluation for certification.
