The new BHS "pathway" exams... confused?

[Alflora]

I am looking to gain a teaching qualification via UKCC and I came across the BHS' new "equine excellence pathways" method of doing this as opposed to the traditional "stages" system: https://pathways.bhs.org.uk/assessments-training/

It looks great and I would really like to start on the coaching pathway but wondered if anyone had any experience with it as I had a few questions first:

Is the BHS coaching pathway a UKCC accredited qualification? If so, how does the BHS' stage 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 relate to the UKCC's stages 1, 2, 3 & 4 - or have I misunderstood this?
Leading on from this, if you gain a qualification this way, do you advertise yourself as being a BHS or UKCC accredited instructor, or both?

Thanks in advance!

The BHS has updated. The stages are still there, but the qualification names have changed and UKCC is no longer offered through the BHS.

BHSAI is now Stage 3 Coach
BHSII is now Stage 4 Senior Coach
BHSI is now Stage 5 Performance Coach

it used to be possible to complete a portfolio to gain your UKCC Level 2 after passing the PTT (now Stage 2 Teach). If you want to go down the UKCC route now, you will need to go via either the Pony Club for Generic Riding or one of the Disciplines e.g. BD for a specialist UKCC.

I started under the older Stages and will finish off on the new Pathway, but with a UKCC Level 2 as well.

Happy to have a chat via PM if that would help.
