Results from the industry and
education survey we conducted in November 2019, identified a need among people
within the industry for short industry specific online training.
Based on the research results
we have now established equuip4learning - an online learning tool to deliver
short industry specific online training.
The first phase of the project
is a pilot programme and will offer five short online modules to gauge interest,
participation levels and importantly to gather feedback to assist in
determining the future direction of equuip4learning. The initial courses will
be offered to all licensed trainers and/or a designated member of your team.
The modules are:
Digital marketing (2 Modules) Duration: 15 minutes for each module
Module 1 - Novices: This is a basic level digital marketing training module for those who have little or no current online presence.
Module 2 - Champions: This is a digital marketing training module for those who are active on social media and perhaps have a website.

This is the first in what we hope will be a series of equine welfare modules and will give an overview of the key principles of equine welfare and identify welfare strategies.

- The importance of safeguarding
