What is an EAQ® Approved Centre? 

An EAQ Approved Centre is one that has:

• an outdoor, herd-based approach to horse care
• undertaken training with EAQ
• at least one member of staff who has a recognised qualification such as the Level 4 Certificate in Facilitating Equine Assisted Learning
• trained first aider
• policies and procedures including safeguarding
• a safer recruitment process including disclosure and barring service (DBS) checks for all staff and volunteers
• public liability insurance.

EAQ Approved Centres are able to offer nationally-accredited qualifications through EAQ's approval with awarding organisations.
