Courses - Equine Thermography Training

One-Day Introduction to Equine Thermography

The Introduction Course gives an insight into Equine Thermography, briefly covering history, infrared science, equine scanning and camera suitability. It is designed to give the attendee a flavour of Equine Thermography, why correct training and camera selection is so important, helping them decide if Equine Thermography is for them.

This course is run once a quarter for one or more attendees according to demand.

Certified Courses:

Equine Thermal Imaging Technician

This is an intense in person 4 day certified course covering Infrared Science and Equine Thermal Imaging.

Infrared Science

This section has been drawn from the Level 1 Thermography Certificate course recognised by BINDT following ISO Standards 18434-1:2008, 18436-7:2014.

To Include:

Infrared History
Infrared Radiation
Heat Transfer & Thermodynamics
Reflection, Transmission and Emissivity
Camera Function, Operation, Handling & Settings
Level & Span
Infrared Cameras for Equine Use
Software use
Practical Tips

Equine Thermal Imaging

This section teaches the Equine Thermal Imaging Standards & Protocols recognised by the American Academy of Thermology and makes up 3 days of the intense 4 day Technician certificate course.

To include:

History of Equine Thermography
Early Research
Standards & Protocols
Camera Use & Settings
Image Capture
Horse Preparation
Viewing Environment Preparation
Scan Protocol
Computer & Software Use
Basic Report Writing
Image Recognition
Equipment
Relations with Clients
Health & Safety

The course includes a theory examination and a practical examination of 5 case studies.

This course is organised in partnership with the ITC (The Infrared Training Centre) who are a global thermal imaging training body. Successful completion results in a Equine Thermal Imaging Technician certificate and is a foundation course for the Equine Thermographers Course.

Students need to have a good knowledge of equine anatomy and physiology and be computer literate.

Equine Thermographer Certification

This is an intense in person 3 day accredited course covering further Infrared Science and Advanced Thermography.

Advanced Thermography

This module teaches advanced techniques and report writing and image interpretation.

To include:

Equine Dermatomes
Assessing the Horse on the Lunge
Image Interpretation
Advanced Report Writing
Working with other Equine Professionals
Research Project
Theory Examination
Practical Examination

The course includes a theory examination and a practical examination of 5 case studies.

This course is organised in partnership with the ITC (The Infrared Training Centre) who are a global thermal imaging training body.

This Certificate Course was the main reason for forming the Equine Thermography Training Centre. Successful completion of the Technician Course is a prerequisite of entry. This is the only course available that teaches you how to interpret your images.

__________________________________________________________________

Both courses taken over a maximum 12 month period gives the student a solid foundation to practise Equine Thermography.

Bespoke training can also be arranged

We do not offer this course online. These courses include practical sessions with cameras and horses. Also Equine Thermography has to be carried out in a precise manner following strict guidelines; training for this is best done in an actual classroom where we can help and guide you rather than in a virtual world where mistakes can often go unnoticed.
