Would you like to become a NARHA Certified Driving Instructor? Driving is one of the Specialty Discipline Instructor Certifications currently offered by NARHA. This certification requires that participants meet minimum criteria before submitting an application for certification to NARHA
Instructors are certified at a two-day certification through hands-on evaluation in teaching and driving skills and written examinations based on the Driving Instructor Criteria. For a detailed description of the requirements for becoming certified in driving, please click on the Driving Instructor Certification Program Booklet.
The NARHA certified driving instructor must demonstrate the ability to drive a variety of horses harnessed to different vehicles, over a variety of terrains. A candidate has to demonstrate thorough knowledge of driving skills, driving instruction and the ability to safely direct a driving program. A candidate has to demonstrate skills to supervise others as volunteers and assistants in a driving program. A candidate must receive passing evaluation at a NARHA driving instructor certification and must meet the criteria of a Level I or II.
To apply for a NARHA Driving Certification, candidates must meet all criteria detailed the NARHA Driving Certification Candidate Application Booklet available from NARHA. Effective January 1, 2008, the format for completing the NARHA Driving Instructor Certification Process has changed to reflect the separation of education from certification. The new format includes a three-day NARHA driving workshop and a two-day NARHA driving instructor certification. The workshop is a prerequisite for certification and will be valid for two years. The workshop and certification can still be completed consecutively; however, NARHA highly recommends they be completed at different times. Auditors will only be allowed to audit the workshop.
