Education Many countries have different sorts of education as an appraisser but in Europe there is only one course only for horse appraissing, the EAAE standardcourse which is at the moment available in English and Dutch only. The fast way is the distance learning course with printed books or E-books. In some countries there is also a possibility for a personal training or in a classroom. More info: eaae@telenet.be
Belgium: if there are 8 candidates or more by Syntra Volwassenen onderwijs. Netherlands: as a minor study possible at the CAH Hogeschool Dronten/paardenmanagement HBO.
I am already a horse appraisser, do i need the course? No. Maybe the part how to make an universal horse appraissing report, but no exam is needed if you can proof that you have the knowledge, the competences and want to confirm to our code of ethics. Send to EAAE@telenet.be your CV and we will check it for you.
What are the costs of being a member of the EAAE? When you have your EAAE diploma you have the year membership following after it, for free. Annual costs are now € 25,- a year (Jan/dec.)
