Exam Fees
BHS Horse Owner’s Certificates

BHS HOC Level 2 exam is available to long course students at £45.00, and to Level 3 students at £55.00.
In UK, the option to sit the BHS Horse Owner’s Certificates exams is subject to the following conditions:
- The search for and successful appointment by Lingfield Correspondence of a suitable invigilator.
- The invigilator must be unknown to the student. They cannot be appointed or recommended by a student.
In 50-70% of cases we are able to successfully locate a suitable person. The appointed inviglator will bring the exam paper to your home and oversee the exam.
If we are unable to locate a suitable invigilator within a reasonable time, we will refund the £45.00 exam fee less an administration charge of £10.
Those who successfully complete our courses, are eligible for the alternative Lingfield Certification via the Lingfield Equine Certificates at a cost of £12.50 to cover marking of the assignments and admininstration.

Invigilation Fees
- Exams are usually held at your home - no exam centre nerves or venue fee
- We appoint a local professional person to bring the exam paper to you
- They are all friendly people who rarely have any knowledge of horses
- Fees are usually in the region of £12-15 per hour payable directly to the invigilator
We follow the BHS exam guidelines very strictly.
For this reason no Lingfield Correspondence student has ever had an exam result or Certificate withdrawn.

Funding and Grants
It is worth checking the following organisations and schemes: Lantra, Rural Enterprise Schemes, Defra if you are a smallholder or farmer, and also your local Citizens Advice Bureau to see if there are any charities offering support for learning.
The job centre may also advise if there is any funding or support available for you in your particular circumstances
Those aiming to start a business would do well to contact Business Link. This is a national organisation which may prove a useful source of funding via the EU. Even as a one man band/sole trader you are a ‘business’ e.g. riding instructor, grooms service, livery yard or mobile tack shop. You might get help with buying a new computer, training or even setting up a web site.
