I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS...
You can take the levels at your own pace. There is no time limit. The courses are self-paced, with regular Module releases. Sometimes a module includes submission of a video or passing of a quiz. Level 1 has 4 Modules.
Levels 2 - 5 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.
At the end of each Level a PDF certificate will be emailed to you.
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
