National Course Designers wishing to be upgraded to Senior National status are not required to sit written exams. However, applicants are required to submit their C.V. and a recommendation to upgrade from a Senior National or above course designer. This documentation should be sent to the office marked for the attention of Laura Murphy. The regional reps will be able to advise applicants on a suitable course
designer to get a recommendation from. Applicants will then be independently assessed by the Course Designer’s Committee.
Senior National Course Designers who wish their name to be put forward in order to attend an International Seminar later in the year for the purposes of being upgraded should apply in writing to Laura Murphy in the ShowjumpingIreland office.
Course Designers wishing to upgrade must submit their Log book with their application in order to sit the exams. Course Designers must bring their Log Book to any Seminar they attend to be stamped by a member of the Course Designers Committee.
Course Designers of Regional and National level who wish to gain experience and upgrade their status may apply for financial assistance towards their travel costs to attend relevant shows in order to work under more experienced Course Designers at venues either inside or outside their region. Those wishing to avail of this financial assistance may apply to the ShowjumpingIreland office. It should be noted this form must be signed by the Senior Course Designer and the Senior Judge officiating on the day. Download the form here.
