English Instructors - Jump are working with athletes new to equestrian sport. Working with non-competitive (recreational) riders from beginner to active for life students, these coaches help introduce and develop equestrian skills.

Instructors hold one of the most important roles in equestrian sport – building the foundation skills that empower equestrians to enjoy equestrian sport at the level they choose for the rest of their lives!

Instructors use programs like P’Tit Trot, Rookie Riders and Learn to Ride to complement their student development.

This training pathway will help prepare you for your Instructor - English - Jump evaluation for Certification.

The following is required

1. Introduction to EC NCCP Certification (recommended)

As the first step in the pathway, this short eLearning module is FREE and your first introduction to NCCP certification and the Canadian coaching framework (approximately 15 minutes).
