Training and Examinations

 

BHS Examinations are internationally recognised qualifications.
There are a number of BHS examinations and qualifications you could work for depending upon whether you have professional or recreational aspirations.

 
BHS Stage Examinations are vocational exams designed for and aimed at, persons wishing to either pursue teaching as a career or who simply wish to explore the extent of their equestrian knowledge. The Stage 1 examination is the first qualification a candidate can achieve and the depth of knowledge and riding requirements progressively increases up to Stage 4. There are also Teaching qualifications that can be taken.Higher Level BHS qualifications are also available.
 
NVQs and SVQs are another form of qualification offered through the BHS.
