FEI Global Education Program information:
"The GEP program has been designed to expand and raise the quality and experience of Eventing Officials worldwide, by identifying, educating and promoting FEI Eventing Officials - with specific effort for 'developing and less experienced' countries". The FEI Global Education Programme will be financially responsible for the participants [up to a pre-arranged maximum cost] for:Travel Expenses (economy flight tickets), train, car, etc and a daily allowance to cover the costs of meals and hotel accommodation (for a maximum of 5 days).
1. Shadow Officiating:
The opportunity for Eventing Officials from less experienced countries, and from countries with less competition opportunities, to accompany a ‘senior’ official throughout an event. Selected participants will travel to International events to, acquire more experience.
2. Exchange of Eventing Officials:
To share the knowledge and experience of the sport within different regions of the world:
• Officials from more experienced countries will be appointed to officiate in less experienced countries, to share their knowledge with local officials
• Officials from developing and less experienced countries will be able to travel and ‘officiate’ abroad in more experienced countries, to gain experience
3. Mentoring Scheme:
This will provide opportunities for recently appointed FEI “C” officials [Judges, CD’s and TD’s] to be ‘paired’ with an experienced “Mentor”, who will help to guide them through their first two years of duties, at International level.
