Coaching as a Career
The AHRC runs two qualifications through the Australian Sports
Commission’s National Coaching Accredited Scheme (NCAS).

These qualifications can only be undertaken through an accredited riding centre. Potential trainees are advised to contact an AHRC accredited riding centre to discuss their career options.
Upon trainee registration and payment the trainee will be registered on National data base and receive a study guide to assist through studies.
