Welcome to the Foundation Course for FEI Eventing Officials. The following online programme aims to prepare you for FEI officiating in the sport of Eventing. It will lead you through education that is broken into five sections as follows:

  • FEI Eventing – evolution of the sport
  • FEI Officials – roles and responsibilities

As you progress through the programme there are a number of learning control quizzes built in to support your development.

The FEI Eventing Committee’s objective is to ensure the highest standards for the education of officials and thereby the development of the sport.
