Equine Facilitated Learning Accredited Diploma Training Course.  We are so pleased to be able to offer this training course here at Horse Haven Uk.

The course has been written by myself, Suzannah. I have been working on it for well over 12 months and it has come about from our experiences and pleasure of working with EFL clients here.

It has now been approved and accredited by the “Institute for Animal Care Education”.  I have chosen this organisation as we feel the care of the horses is of utmost importance for this type of work.

The training will be held at Horse Haven Uk in Somerset , near Glastonbury and will run over 5 days.

Limited accommodation can be provided on site by arrangement and a list of local accommodation will be sent to anyone wishing to attend.

The training will involve classroom work, requirements for setting up your business and of course selection, training and care of the therapy horse.  You will learn to set up a variety of courses and create the right environment for your clients in order that they get maximum benefits from their experience with the horses. There will also be lots of practical, hands on experience with our therapy horses.

There will be tests throughout the course and the final day will be spent doing case studies which we provide from volunteers being invited to join us.  You will be assessed on the results of the tests and performance with case studies which, if successful in the assessments will result in receiving a diploma from Horse Haven Uk, followed by a diploma from the Institute for Animal Care Education.  This will enable you to obtain insurance for your future business.

In the unlikely event that any student doesn’t meet the final requirements they will be offered the opportunity to come back for 1 or 2 days to work on the areas that didn’t quite meet the standard of assessment.

Your tutor will be myself, Suzannah Leighton. Horse handler and support team varies but all are qualified in Equine Facilitated Learning.

Suzannah is a qualified Hypnotherapist, Mindfulness Coach and Master Practitioner of NLP (neuro linguistic programming) with over 20 years experience as a therapist. She also has certificates in EFL and advanced EFT.

There will be ongoing support for anyone that has successfully completed the course and you will have access to both Suzannah and Dean by email and telephone.  We are always at hand to help with any enquiries or issues that may arise for you.

If you already hold a relevant therapy qualification and can demonstrate this to us, you will, on successful completion of the training receive a diploma from HHUK for Equine Facilitated Learning And Therapy. .  Without a relevant therapy qualification your diploma will be Equine Facilitated Learning, again, on successful completion of the training and in both instances this will be followed up with a certificate from “The Institute for Animal Care Education”.

Groups will be small in order that everyone gets optimum support during the 5 days.

If you have a group (minimum of 4 people) that might be interested in doing this training together alternative dates can be arranged to suit.

The cost of the 5 day training will be £850 plus accommodation and a non-refundable deposit of £250 is required on booking.  The remaining balance to be paid 2 weeks before commencement of the course.
