Attending an Introduction Day is the best way to find out about the range of training on offer. 

Attending an EAQ Introduction Day is the first stage in the process and it is important that you attend before enrolling on the EAQ Facilitator Training.  By attending the day you will have an opportunity to:
  • Learn more about equine assisted learning
  • Meet a new herd of horses and experience a few equine assisted learning activities for yourself
  • Find out about the Level 4 Certificate in Facilitating Equine Assisted Learning, the structure of the training and the fees
  • Analyse some video and listen to some different communication techniques
  • Interact with the horses and assess your own skills against the unit Handling and Managing Horses in Equine Assisted Learning
  • Find out what is involved in becoming an EAQ Advanced Facilitator or running an EAQ Approved Centre.
  • Find out about EAQ and the support available
We will talk with you about your skills and whether we think the training will be appropriate for you. We can help you to map out a relevant training programme to meet your aspirations.  The Introduction Day has inspired many people to go on to the facilitator training and then run their own equine assisted learning centre.

Testimonials
The following email came from a teacher at a special school who attended the Intro Day in September 2017.

“Thank you for a wonderful day. Tricia you are a true inspiration and I feel very honoured to have spent the day with you. I drove home deep in thought reflecting on the day and all that I had learnt and observed. I met with my Head Ruth today and told her all about the course. Ruth would like me to do the intensive course. I am totally overwhelmed at having been given this opportunity to learn and work with you. I look forward to seeing you again. Thanks again for a truly wonderful day.” 

Here are a few comments from the heading ‘What have you found most useful about the course?’ 

Experiencing for myself interacting with horses in this way and feeling what it might be like to be the client/learner rather than just reading about it and watching videos on YouTube.
Good grounding about the qualifications. Ideas on how equine assisted learning could be applied and used with my current skills. Ideas on what is required for a centre.
I have really enjoyed today, thank you. It has given me plenty to think about with my own personal development and awareness and how I would like to continue professionally.
The ability to connect/be open with an animal without speaking.
Trisha! The way she has presented and delivered and the lovely horses.
Just everything! 

The cost for the day is £150 and lunch will be provided.  Please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to book your place.
