THE UK COACHING CERTIFICATE (UKCC)

The UK Coaching Certificate is an endorsement of sport specific coach education qualifications that are aligned to an agreed framework. By creating a recognised standard for coach education the UKCC will make it easier to identify a quality coach in any sport at any level and contribute immeasurably to the professionalisation of coaching.

The UKCC will ensure that sports are delivering the best available, athlete centred coaching and in due course reap the rewards of sporting success, both in performance and recreational enjoyment of sport.

The scheme is now on track to come into play as of April 1st 2007.

ARE YOU ACCREDITED?

It is a requirement that all Pony Club Instructors NOT on the British Horse Society’s register of Instructors must go to, at least, one Pony Club Instructors’ course every two years, where a mounted demonstration ride is provided, and must be included on The Pony Club list of Accredited Instructors.

Instructors should aquire an Instructors Log Book, available from Pony Club Merchandise, to be signed by the Area Represenatative to confirm that Instructors have attended these courses.
