12-Week Online Courses |
|
| Our continuing education programs are delivered as a result of a partnership between Equine Guelph and the University of Guelph’s Centre for Open Learning and Educational Support. Courses are facilitated by leading researchers and practitioners in the equine industry and delivered online via the internet. You will meet and interact with students from around the world as you become part of a community sharing a love of horses and a wide range of experiences. Plus, online study makes it easy for you to continue your education and stay at home with your horses. Note: Equine Canada recognizes Equine Guelph courses as qualifying for credit on the Professional Development Grid for both Western and English Coaches. Participants would receive 1 hour for every 2 hours of participation. Whether you’re interested in taking one course, all of our courses or you would like to earn a university-accredited diploma or certificate, the following gives a snapshot of all the possible options. |
