Achieving proficiency certificates opens doors to competitions and events, with certain levels required for qualification.

Beginners can start with the optional E Certificate, while progression through the levels requires completing each prior certificate, starting with D.

Manuals are tailored for different ages, with interactive activities like drawing and quizzes for younger riders, and adapted versions of the D and D* manuals for older or adult members featuring mature language and relevant exercises.

The A Certificate represents the pinnacle of horse management, training, and care. Graduates possess an advanced understanding of horse behaviour, learning theory, and biomechanics. They are equipped to design effective training programs to address problem behaviours, excel in both groundwork and riding, and apply expert knowledge in nutrition and management. With these skills, A Certificate holders are fully prepared to assess and optimise the welfare of the horses in their care.
