Industry Experts, Always Leading the Way

​

Students can study with EMA from anywhere in the world through our engaging and accessible online platforms. For those enrolled in our equine therapy courses, we also offer masterclass-attended learning in the UK to enhance practical skills and hands-on experience.

​

As one of the original training providers in the field, EMA has set the benchmark for excellence in equine education and continues to maintain a leading reputation. We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support throughout your career—from accredited qualifications to an unrivalled range of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities, ensuring you maintain your expertise and secure your standing as one of the best in the industry.

​

Setting the Highest Standards in Equine Education

Our qualifications are professionally designed to provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills.  Although they are non-regulated, they are written to specific National Occupational Standards (where available) and aligned with regulated Levels 3, 4, and 5 outcome indicators and assessment criteria to ensure high standards of learning but are not OFQUAL regulated qualifications.

​

With a non-regulated qualification, you are eligible to join respected professional organisations such as the Equine Professional Education Association (EPEA), the International Association of Animal Therapists (IAAT) and others.  However, some organisations may have different entry requirements, so it’s important to check based on your individual goals.

EMA is accredited by UK Rural Skills and the Institute of Registered Veterinary and Animal Physiotherapists (IRVAP).
