Instructor Training Workshop Series
Fieldstone Farm TRC offers monthly instructor training workshops beginning in January and running through the month of May. These workshops are designed to assist the prospective PATH Intl. instructor candidate in preparation for certification.
Each workshop contains information that, along with self-study, gives candidates the foundation to begin their career as a therapeutic riding instructor. For participants who attend all 5 workshops and meet minimum requirements, practicum teaching is available on a first come, first served basis.
The workshop series leads up to a PATH Intl. Workshop and Certification weekend where candidates can obtain their PATH Intl. Registered Level Certification.
While not required for certification, our preparatory workshops have proven to be very beneficial to the candidates who go on to certification.
All workshops are 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
