Today I am filling in my application form...

...to take part in the qualifiers for the BHS Young Instructor Of The Year 2008. Here are the questions/subjects I need to write about:

1) What are your qualifications to date?
2) What training days have you attended in the last two years?
3) Teaching and Coaching Experience.
4) Teaching and Coaching Aims.
5) Why are you interested in Teaching & Coaching within the Equine Industry?
6) Career Aims.

I have heard various things about this competition, good and bad. One thing was constant though regardless of general opinion - it's a great training day that you don't have to pay for! In that respect, I would be happy to qualify :)
