Ride and tie has a Novice division, which changes after a person has 
done a Championship. There are no restrictions on novices but it is a 
category for certain awards and prizes. Because of the awards people 
don't mind calling themselves a novice and this allows others to feel 
comfortable in offering advice.

In falconry you are an Apprentice for your first two years, with many 
restrictions. You must have a sponsor who is your mentor and they must 
co-sign all of your documents sent in to the State and Fed's. You can 
only have one bird and it must be a passage bird (immature) and must be 
trapped from the wild. You cannot buy one as an apprentice. Also you are 
restricted to a red-tail hawk or the Kestrel. You cannot advance to the 
General, lifetime license unless your sponsor signs off on you and 
details how many hours per month you two worked together and that you 
had all of the required equipment and could demonstrate how to keep a 
bird healthy and in good hunting condition
