Summary of review and consultation process

The review of the New Zealand Equine Coaching qualifications occurred in 2019. It encompassed consultation with stakeholders from the sporthorse and equestrian coaching sectors to ensure that the reviewed qualifications met their current and future needs.

The recommendation of the External Working Group was that the current Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications were fit for purpose, with minor amendments only required to the Graduate Profile Outcomes.

The amendments align with Equestrian New Zealand coaching standards.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

Qualifications were updated to align to the current qualification template and listing requirements.

Minor changes to were made to Graduate Profile Outcomes to strengthen and align them with Equestrian New Zealand coaching standards.

A new version of each qualification was published.
