Bhs Stage One..

[claire&dylan]

Hi,

Can somebody please tell me some more info on this on whats covered and how you enroll etc?

You can find out more information in the 'Education' section of the BHS website - found here.
There is a link to the syllabus which tells you what you'll need to be able to know/do for the exam.
When you say enrol, do you mean enter the exam? You do this by filling in the application form on the page I've linked ^.
If you mean enrol on a course, you do this through the centre at which you wish to train. There's a list on the BHS site of where to train.
Hope this helps!
eta - You don't HAVE to train at a centre, you can enter the exam without formal training, though most people will say that this is inadvisable!

It really depends why you want to do the exam...it is not a cheap route to go down and really only worth it if you are going to progress to the higher levels otherwise there are cheaper options in tests.

First step I recommend is to go to a Training Centre for an assessment lesson.

A freind of mine who is an Examiner has had Stage 1 candidates who could not do a rising trot ...what a waste of money!

Agreed, they're certainly not the cheap option and certainly not something you want to go into if you're not prepared... I was really nervous for mine and I think my trainer's fantastic, I don't think I could have got much better preparation.
