WHAT IS THE ICP?
Instructors are essential to the training of riders and their horses for humane, safe, and skilled participation in the sport of eventing. Started in 2002, the USEA Instructors’ Certification Program (ICP) educates all levels of eventing instructors to confirm their knowledge base, both theoretical and practical, upon which they will continue to build throughout their teaching lifetime.
MISSION OF THE ICP
Identifies essential training principles for riders and horses, drawn from time-tested sources and from experience with today’s competition challenges
Offers materials, workshops, and mentorship opportunities that present these training principles in a developmental sequence
Certifies instructors at a specific ICP level of teaching knowledge and proficiency, inviting them to continue to learn and to achieve a higher level of certification, if they so desire
Supports enhancement of certified instructors’ knowledge and skill through ICP’s Continuing Education Program requirements
Provides an atmosphere of professional openness and support to all instructors so that on-going sharing and learning are facilitated
