Certified EAL course - Introduction

The Cartier Equine Center, Academy of Equine Assisted Learning welcomes this opportunity to present the first nationally recognized equine-assisted learning certification program. For decades, equine-assisted learning has proven to help develop leadership skills in some, life-skills in those at-risk and specific skills in participants with special needs. In recent years, a number of equine-assisted facilities scattered across the globe made numerous attempts to unify, certify and find recognition for their efforts with no avail. Until now.

The partnership of Cartier Equine Center has spent years researching the lasting benefits of EAL and hundreds of hours developing a flexible/teachable curriculum that others could learn how to teach at a facility of their own. The Cartier Equine Center's EAL courses have been designed to emphasize real-world training tailored to meet the equine and social service industries.

The Cartier Equine Center has partnered with the Saskatchewan Horse Federation/ Equine Canada to nationally recognize and certify this unique and innovative BuildingBlock™ Equine-Assisted Learning Course©  with the express intent of providing a standardized educational format for individuals interested in expanding their knowledge in the industry, as well as increase their business' marketability and income potential.

You can come to count on the Learning Center's instructors. They will facilitate, mentor and coach you throughout the program in a supportive learning environment and provide you with numerous opportunities to develop your EAL skills with practical application and hands on teaching. The dedicated faculty cater to students seeking a strong knowledge base and draw on the experience needed to succeed.
