I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS...

We are here to help and have put together some common questions people ask.
1How long will it take me to complete the Levels?

You can take the levels at your own pace. There is no time limit. Once you enroll for a course then a new module is released every two weeks. Sometimes a module includes submission of a video or passing of a quiz. Level 1 has 4 Modules and *could* be completed in as little as three months depending on experience level.

Levels 2 - 4 contain more modules and more complex material and will take longer to complete. Completion rates will also depend on the horse you are working with for the course. Some horses will take longer, some shorter depending upon previous experience and education.

2What do I do if I need help?
We are here to help! You can email us, or submit your video and question in the forums we have set aside for each of the levels. Our team of experts will provide feedback and support as we work together through this journey.
3Do I need any previous rider biomechanics experience?
No, we try to assume a little as possible..
4Do I need any previous experience?
As long as you have have the basics and can safely walk & trot you will be able to take part in this course.
5Do I get a certificate?

At the end of each Level a PDF certificate will be emailed to you.

6Is this a coaching/trainer certificate?

No, this certificate shows that you have completed the online training course and have been assessed via video as having completed the course and been able to perform the requirements of each level. The certificate is not an endorsement nor an assessment of your ability to coach others. Mary Wanless BHSI provides coaching certification through her website at http://www.mary-wanless.com
