Rider Coaching

Any senior stable staff or racing groom can apply to become a Racing Coach. 

There are many benefits including: 

• developing new coaching skills 
• supporting the progression of junior members of your team 
• becoming part of Racing's Coaching Community 
• enhancing your CV 

You do not need to have any previous coaching experience. Full training is provided and you will start at Level 1 which is an assistant coach.  You should gain support from your employer to apply. 

The training and assessment takes place over six afternoon sessions at a regional location. In 2020, residential week long courses at the British Racing School or National Horseracing  are planned. As well as the recognised coaching qualification you will also gain a first aid and safeguarding certificate. 

The cost of training is £1,500 but this is subsidised by the racing industry and the cost per individual is £100 - and even that is returnable on successful completion of the course.
