What do I do once I receive my books?
Upon receiving your books, order any recommended resources as needed and work through the content diligently. After mastering it, consider reaching out to a SSTA/CE for approval or staying updated by following the Equestrian Victoria Facebook page and Education calendar for Workshops and Coach Training and Assessment days.
Do I need an SSTA or Coach Educator to sign off on my books?
A Skills Specific Trainer/Assessor (SSTA) or a Coach Educator (CE), are EA Accredited Coaches who have undergone extra study to hold qualifications that allow them to mark off your assessment items.
SSTA’s can sign off Introductory Horse Management and Introductory Riding modules only.
CE’s can sign off all other modules as long as they specialise in equivalent disciplines. (For Level 2 Assessments, please see this document for more information on CE qualifications.)
