Integration Training in Equine Facilitated Wellness (EFW)
Approximate time commitment: 35 hours
This training allows candidates to integrate and embody their Equine Facilitated Wellness (EFW) knowledge, experience, and skills.
Integration Training is an opportunity to deepen, ground, and apply what has been learned while evolving into becoming a confident Equine Facilitated Wellness practitioner. Our equines are our partners and teachers who continue to inspire, guide, and support us throughout this stage of the journey.
Integration experiences may include:
-

- Working independently to create experiential exercises and spend meaningful time with the equines
-
Sharing your professional work and vision
-
Engaging with populations from the public
-
Presenting your ideas and receiving thoughtful feedback

Candidates ensure they meet their professional and ethical requirements, such as maintaining confidentiality, adhering to relevant codes of ethics, and following proper record-keeping practices.
Each participant will update their Scope of Practice and outline in writing the areas where additional experience or training may be needed to meet identified learning goals. The Scope of Practice process provides an opportunity to define your professional focus and clarify your competencies as an Equine Facilitated Wellness Professional, also known as Equine Assisted Learning practitioner.
Integration Training includes a combination of online, on-site, and preparatory work that brings together all aspects of the Pro-EFW Certification journey
