The EAPD Coach Course is a made up of two parts, Pre-Course Study Material that is sent to participants prior to the course and the in-person five day training. Note courses will be following the guidelines set out by government related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes physical distancing and access to sanitation stations.
Cost of the course is $2730 including tax. However for the balance of 2020, the course cost is reduced to $2100 including tax, recognizing the financial impact of COVID-19 and the need there will be for EAL service as a result of the pandemic.
The course fee covers the Pre-Course Study material, the EAPD Coach Course manual, EAL Canada Exercise Resource Book 1, Equine Information Documents booklet.
Morning coffee and lunch is provided each day (dietary restrictions are met to the best of our ability), as well as snacks and water throughout the day. Lunches will be individually packed and provided to individuals. Snacks will also be individually packed.
Courses are normally taught all across Canada but due to restrictions as a result of COVID-19, courses for the remainder of 2020 will only be held in western Canada. Check the Course Schedule for a course near you.
PRE-COURSE STUDY
A month prior to the in-person course, you will receive a Pre-Course Study package that will help you prepare for the full course.
Students will write an exam on the Pre-Course Study material the first day and must pass it in order to continue with the rest of the course.
Included in the Pre-Course Study material is:

· Professional Standards and Code of Ethics
· Instincts, motivations and characteristics of individual horses and a deeper understanding of herd dynamics as applied to human interactions.
· Safety for horse and human
· And so much more.
