"Having come back into the horse world after a number of years, I wanted to refresh and update my knowledge of equine care and the Equine Distance Learning Course has done just that!
A very informative course with clear easily digestible text, plus the regular mini tests throughout make sure you have understood what you have been taught at each stage, which is a great way to keep on top of things.
With the on tap online support, the course is flexible enough to enjoy and complete while also juggling other work/ life commitments!"

"I'm absolutely ecstatic about my result!
It means a huge amount to me that Kerry and Sarah have been so incredibly supportive and helped me get into the uni of my dreams. I cant wait to continue studying with you and the team.
I am planning to continue studying with you through university as well as and when I have the funds, as not only have I learnt exceptional amounts from your courses, but also had great enjoyment studying with you."

"I decided to increase my horse knowledge following a major accident which has left me unable to walk for the last 20 months. The course material is detailed and easy to follow, with suggestions on where to obtain further information. Diagrams are clear and well labelled. There is always someone at the end of the phone to offer advice and support. I have found studying for this course to be very therapeutic for me, I'm unable to ride my horses at the moment, so this is a way of making good use of the time and indulging my passion. Would recommend the course to anyone who shares a passion for horses and wishes to improve their knowledge."
