Applying for NCCP Coach Status

Coach Status is like a driver's license; it must be current and renewed in order to instruct/coach. It is the screening process. All active coaches and instructors in the equine industry are encouraged to strive for Licensed Coach Status. This will be required for all coaches by 2025. Please refer to the phased-in timeline for formal competition and program access requirements.
