Are you currently studying an equine-related degree and looking for a way to stand out from the crowd when you graduate and have an immediate income with a hands-on skill for industry?

​

BSc Equine Therapy & Rehabilitation?

​

BSc Equine Science? Or similar?

​

The Certificate in Applied Equine Manual Therapies (CAEMT) has been specifically designed for university students who want to develop practical, hands-on skills alongside their academic studies.

​

This Level 5-aligned qualification bridges the gap between theory and practice, giving you the opportunity to build real-world experience, develop clinical confidence, and enhance your employability within the equine industry.

​

Whether your ambition is to work in rehabilitation, performance support, equine welfare, or progress onto postgraduate study such as Veterinary Physiotherapy, the CAEMT provides a valuable stepping stone towards your future career.

 

Why Choose CAEMT?

​

As a university student, you already spend countless hours learning the science behind the horse. This qualification allows you to apply that knowledge in a practical setting, helping you develop the professional skills employers and clients value.

​

Our qualification is accredited by UK Rural Skills (UKRS) and the British Horse Society (BHS), ensuring you receive training of the highest standards.

• Enhance your CV and graduate with an additional professional qualification

• Develop confidence in assessing and supporting horses safely and effectively

• Build hands-on experience through structured case studies

What Will You Learn?

​

The programme combines high-quality guided video tutorials, online learning, and practical application to develop specific theoretical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and professional-level practical skills, preparing you to apply equine manual therapy techniques confidently and effectively in industry.

​

You will learn how to:

​

• Distinguish between presenting signs and symptoms in horses to identify factors that may contribute to posture, movement, comfort, and performance issues.

• Assess horses for therapy within your scope of practice

• Develop safe and effective therapy plans

• Apply equine manual therapy techniques appropriately

Professional Scope of Practice

​

• Equine performance

• Maintenance and wellbeing of all horses from youngsters to veterans

• Rehabilitation support where appropriate and with veterinary permission

 

Entry Requirements

​

Applicants must be studying, or have completed, a relevant equine degree which includes:

​

Equine Anatomy and Physiology (muscular and skeletal systems as a minimum)

​

Additional knowledge of areas such as nutrition, respiratory physiology and the nervous system is beneficial but not essential.

​

Evidence of study is required prior to enrolment by completing a short application form.

​

If your degree does not include the required anatomy and physiology components, additional study options can be provided through the Equine Massage Academy.

 

Course Fee

£1,400

Flexible payment options available.

 

Optional Masterclass

​

Students may also attend an optional two-day, face-to-face practical Masterclass in the UK to further develop their hands-on skills for an additional £280. However, this is not essential, as most learners find that the online material provides an exceptional learning experience, with lifelong access to all course content but this is something we wanted to offer for those who do not want a purely online learning experience.

​

Graduates will:

​

• Receive the full qualification certificate
