Therapeutic Riding Coaching Programme QQI Level 6

The aim of this highly interactive course is to equip participants with the skills and knowledge required to enable them to work as a Therapeutic Riding Coach.

This course starts every September and consists of 18 full days (divided into 6 modules for a 10 Month duration) onsite at Festina Lente, Co. Wicklow, (See next course dates below) with assignments/projects to be completed in between each module.

The course uses Equine based learning techniques together with knowledge of disability to design and develop learning and therapeutic interventions for people with special needs.

Learner Profile

This course will be of interest to those who have experience in Horsemanship and an interest in applying this skill to working with people with special needs.
