In order to be an accredited Trauma-Informed Horse Trainer students need to pass the course assignments.

There are two course assignments - a 2,000 word written submission and a 10 minute case study presented live via Zoom.

Case studies must be presented live via Zoom. Pre-recorded videos will not be accepted.

Details of both assignments are available to enrolled students in the Course Assignments section of the course.

Both assignments are scored according to a rubric which is available to enrolled students in their course documents.

The pass mark for both assignments is 75%.

Students will not receive detailed feedback on their individual assignments or rubric scoring.

In order to pass the course and achieve accreditation, students must meet the deadlines published in the Course Assignments section of the course.

Extensions to assignment deadlines may be granted only in exceptional circumstances.

Deadline extensions must be requested in writing - before the deadline - via email to info@understandhorses.com.

Dates and times of case study assessments via Zoom for individual students are available in the 'Course Assignments' section of the course when the course starts.

If a student fails one or both assignments (or does not submit either or both) then they will not pass the course and will not receive a certificate or accreditation.
