- Someone who already works with horses—like a riding instructor, equine bodyworker, or trainer—and wants to bring your skills into therapeutic or learning environments?
- Interested in creating more meaningful and connected relationships with horses?
- Curious about why equine wellbeing is essential for ethical, effective equine-assisted learning and therapy?
- Looking to develop the business and practice skills to establish a sustainable equine-assisted services practice?
- Seeking personal growth and a sense of belonging within a professional, values-based community with a shared commitment to horse and human welfare?
This Level 2 Foundation Certificate also serves as the entry point to the Athena internationally accredited Level 4 and Level 5 Diplomas in Equine Assisted Services.
The Level 4 Diploma offers eligibility to become a Registered Practitioner with AAHEP (international recognition), and for UK-based practitioners, meets the qualification requirement for application to the first animal and horticultural based UK National Practitioner Register regulated under the Professional Standards Authority.
The Level 4 Diploma is also a prerequisite for the Athena Level 7 Postgraduate Certificate.
🧠 This course is externally accredited by the AAHEP and worth 42 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points with the iacp and is validated for CEUs.
🌏 Suitable for all practitioners, this course offers global relevance and community support—wherever you’re based.
