Vocational training at the CHV

Are you passionate about horse riding and want to make it your job?
· · ·

Each year, the Versailles Horse Club welcomes several trainees in training as horse-riding instructors (AE) and monitors/tutors (BPJEPS). To date, more than 200 student instructors have graduated.

The courses are given to them by experienced tutors, both for theory and for practice. They ride horses, progress, give lessons under the supervision of experienced instructors, and can then embark on active life with a nice business card!

Training for riding professions has evolved. From now on, it can take place in two stages with the obtaining of the diploma of AE then of the BPJEPS. The federal diploma of Horse Riding Instructor (level 3), allows to animate, to initiate and to transmit the first notions of horse riding under the responsibility of an instructor. Then in a second step, this training can be supplemented by that of the BPJEPS. The CHV offers both courses.

testimonial from a student

training at the CHV is rich in knowledge. I started with AE and today I am doing my BPJEPS training. I evolved throughout my two training courses, both technically and pedagogically.
