WHY CERTIFICATION IS IMPORTANT AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN
The Equine Assisted Learning Certification Course ensures the technical competence of their trained professional facilitators. Certification exams go beyond training by providing an objective measurement of a facilitator's knowledge and skills. The Equine Assisted Learning Certification Course is designed to establish standards for developing qualified facilitators.
As defined by the Global Certification Institute: Certification refers to the confirmation of certain characteristics of a person, organization or object. This confirmation is often, but not always, provided by some form of external review, education or assessment. One of the most common types of certification in modern society is professional certification, where a person is certified as being able to competently complete a job or task, usually by the passing of an examination. The purpose of any professional certification is to produce official and public recognition of an individual's competencies and capabilities in a professional subject area.

ACCREDITATION
Being accredited means an organization has proven itself as a legitimate establishment in its field.
Accreditation is important when you are looking for an organization that is certifying you in knowledge, theory, research to back their certification, hands-on programs, their credentials, when they were established, their reviews, and understanding the welfare of the horse, is a living being and we partner with them for the results of the programs. This will assure that you will be able to ensure your business and that insurance companies will recognize the legitimacy of your business.
To be globally accredited, this means we are a global company which by definition means that we operate in at least one country other than the country where it originated. This governing body ensures facilitators are able to maintain your mandated hours while continuing to learn their objectively driven programs and exercises. It is the duty of the facilitator to adhere to their country guidelines for ethical work with equines to be a part of our governing body. We do not just certify people and hope it all works out, we work with our facilitators for the life of their careers. It’s our promise.
Through the training and continued support, we ensure that you are competent to carry out specific conformity of running this course with your form of delivery to bring results to the clients you will serve. We have this Governing Body to ensure you are maintaining your mandated hours and are continually learning your objectively driven programs and exercises with results for safety and competency.

TAXONOMY OF EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives often called Bloom's Taxonomy, is a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). Bloom's Taxonomy divides educational objectives into three "domains:" Affective, Psychomotor, and Cognitive.
Like other taxonomies, Bloom's is hierarchical; meaning that learning at the higher levels is dependent on having attained prerequisite knowledge and skills at lower levels (Orlich, et al. 2004). A goal of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate educators to focus on all three domains, creating a more holistic form of education.
Most references to the Bloom's Taxonomy only notice the Cognitive domain. There is also a far less referred, revised version of the Taxonomy, published in 2001 under the name of "A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing", eds. Anderson, Lorin W., Krathwohl, David R., Airasian, Peter W., Cruikshank, Kathleen A., Mayer, Richard E., Pintrich, Paul R., Raths, James and Wittrock, Merlin C. (philter, GCI Pty. Ltd. )
