Assessor Training Workshops

Introduction

For a list of upcoming assessor training workshops and course guidelines, please see the sections below.

D and D+ Test Assessor Training Workshops

These workshops will last three hours, and will include the following topics:

• The Pony Club Test Structure
• Discussion on and demonstration of the D and D+ standards
• Questioning technique
• Practical observation and questioning
• Giving appropriate feedback

Attendees will receive written feedback to take from the workshop, with clear guidance on how to progress.  Attendees will then be encouraged to shadow more experienced assessors in Centre or Branch D and D+ Tests before assessing independently.

These workshops can cost up to £30 per person to attend.  They will count as a CPD refresher for attendees who also coach for The Pony Club.

You will need to take along the Test cards for E, D, D+ and C Tests, and complete the Pre-Course Work prior to attending the workshop.
