More Information about our EAL Accelerated Facilitation Certification Training
Our 4-day certification training provides in-person, hands-on experience of experiential facilitation and coaching methods, so that you can facilitate EAL programs for corporate training, team building, leadership development, coaching, personal development and youth. We take you through the process step-by-step. You’ll facilitate EAL activities as well as learn how to design and conduct effective EAL programs that provide lasting impact with clients.

Each training typically has 8 - 12 participants, so this is a highly personal experience with the trainers and other participants.

Pre-Study: This is an accelerated training program with a Pre-Study to complete prior to the training. We've intentionally designed the training so we can move quickly and spend much of our time together with the horses doing activities and practicing facilitation. The Pre-Study includes a document that we provide along with these two books that we've integrated into our curriculum: 
  1. Open to Outcome 2 Edition: A Practical Guide for Facilitating & Teaching Experiential Reflection
  2. Strengths Based Leadership, Great Leaders, Teams, and Why People Follow: the book provides instructions and an access code to take the CliftonStrengths assessment, so be sure to purchase a new book so the access code will work
     Both books cost about $35.

Certification: After attending the training and if you've meet all the requirements for certification (documented within our training curriculum), you have 6 months to complete the certification self-test. These test results along with facilitation skills demonstrated during the training program will determine your certification status. This is a lifetime certification; you choose your future professional development, which we encourage, but it's not required to maintain your certification status, like many other equine assisted certifying organizations. We believe in earning your continuing education investments. We also don't require an ongoing membership.​
​During this training, you will:
  • Receive extensive training materials that include a library of forms, tools, templates, and samples to use with client programs.
  • Work on integrating the horse-human connection into facilitating client learning experiences and shift into powerful debrief questions.
  • Practice great facilitation skills to lead any group - corporate training, team building, leadership development, coaching, personal growth, well-being, and youth programs.
  • Gain hands-on experience facilitating EAL horse activities, a safety review, and an end of day program debrief.
  • Experience 18 EAL horse activities plus 3 additional activities are provided with the materials, including somatic and mindfulness experiences.
  • Learn how to select and design powerful horse activities that align to client goals.
  • Experience CliftonStrengths (f.k.a., StrengthsFinder) assessment tool and a strengths focused training experience that you can use with your clients.
  • Gain deeper understanding and experience in facilitating clients through the change process; learn how to guide clients to identifying actions for change to carry the experience forward.
  • Grow revenue through offering professional EAL programs; learn the process for designing and conducting professional EAL programs that deliver lasting client outcomes.
  • Receive valuable coaching from EAL experts.
  • Discover your strengths, develop your skills, and gain confidence in facilitation; empower your voice and values in your EAL program.
Pricing & Payment:
  • Early-Bird discount is available when paid in-full 6 weeks prior to the training.​
  • For the Full and Early-Bird rates, we offer a group discount rate* of an additional $250 off per person when 2 or more register together; please contact us about this group rate.
  • For the Full and Early-Bird rates, we offer a previously certified discount rate** of an additional $500 off for those that have been certified by us or another EAL, EAP, or equine-assisted organization. Certification documentation is required and must be provided at registration (active or current certification not required). This is the exact same experience at the training as other attendees. We do this because those with experience building and facilitating horse programs based on the horse-human connection offers insight that enriches the experience for others attending.
  • The host, group* and previously certified discount rates** are not available through our website registration, so contact us and we'll send an electroinic invoice via email which allows you to pay online.
  • Training prices may vary by location.​
