Levels Assignments - Taking the Challenge
The level assignments are ideal for correspondance students to gain feedback - find out more about our correspondance programme here.
As a correspondence programme available to students wherever they live, the QS Foundation Programme was designed to provide you with information and tasks to do via the Lesson Packs and for you to receive regular feedback from one of our helpful Team of Instructors. Each Lesson Pack comes with its own assigment to complete, which you can either video and send to one of our coaches or to the QS Head Office, or do live with a QS Instructor (coach) for feedback on your progress. Feedback is essential to your progress to help you stay on track and progressing. A little diverging can be a good thing however your coach will help to make sure you are heading in the best direction to reach your goals.
 Each Lesson comes with homework cards with practical tasks to complete to build your skills. As you complete the tasks you tick the boxes along side them so that you have a record of what you have done. It's a bit like keeping a progress diary.
Once you have ticked all the boxes in your homework cards for that lesson, it's time to do your Assignment Card (assignment) for that lesson. This you either do live with an Instructor or by video and send it in for feedback on your progress. The idea is to get as much feedback and coaching as you can so that you can keep progressing along your pathway to horsemanship and make the most of your coach's horsemanship experience.
You can either do the Assignments as you go through the Lessons or leave them until you have nearly finished the Level and do them all at once. We recommend you do them sooner rather than later......remember the important thing here is to get the feedback, not wait unitl you think you have it all perfect. If you leave it too long, your horse will get bored and you may have diverged from your track a little.
As you successfully complete each assignment showing you are proficient at that Level, your coach will sign off that card as completed. If your coach feels you would benefit from spending a little more time on the assignment card he or she will offer you valuable hints and tips to enable you to build your skills and complete the card. In this instance you will need to do a little more practise and then submit the assignment again. Remember....it's not about getting it right, it's about getting the feedback to improve your horsemanship.
 Once you have successfully completed all of your assignments for the Level you are working on, you will receive a Levels Achievers Pack to commemorate your achievements. Your Achievers Pack includes a certificate stating your successful completion of the Level, a Horseman's String in the colour of the Level achieved - red for level one, blue for level two, green for level three - a Levels Achievers badge, a QS sticker PLUS a copy of the assignments for the next level so you can see what kind of things you'll be doing as you progress.

Ideal for students keen to get their feedback quickly, or those who live some distance from the nearest instructor.
Who can approve my assignments?
Level One and Two assignments can be done by an Endorsed or higher Instructor.
Send your Level Three assignments along to a Senior or higher Instructor.
Costs:
You will need to be a current QS member to have your assignments viewed, so check your VIP card for your expiry date or call the QS office or your local Agent to make sure you are current. Please make sure include return postage if you would like your video mailed back to you.
When you have successfully completed all of your Levels assignments you will receive your FREE Achievers Pack! Congratulations.
*please note.....most students will require some feedback and to resubmit a few assignments before they can successfully complete them. This is the best way for you to utilise the programme and gain valuable coaching from your Instructor. It may take several submission before you have successfully completed all of the assignments. This is perfectly natural and is to be expected.
