Step 1: 

Begin with the Introductory Course of Horsemanship: 2 weeks of horse work and classroom study at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center (MRILC). Learn the Join-Up® method, Dually halter skills, long lining, herding exercises, trailer loading as well as equine psychology, physiology and nutrition. All skill levels are welcome.

Step 2: 

Next step is distance learning, practice and field study at home with video assessment provided by the MRILC, helping determine readiness to take the Introductory Course exams.

Step 3: 

Return to the MRILC for the exam. Passing the exam provides the opportunity to take the Advanced Horsemanship Course.

Step 4: 

The Advanced Horsemanship Course can only be taken at the MRILC and consists of 3 weeks of training unstated and untouched horses as well as remedial ones, and in-depth study of equine psychology.

Step 5: 

Again, distance learning, practice and field study at home with video assessment provided by the MRILC, helping determine readiness to take the Advanced Course exams at the MRILC.

Step 6:

On successful completion of the Advanced Exams, selected students may be invited for the Certified Instructor’s Internship.

This internship has been created for students wishing to become Certified Instructors in the Monty Roberts methodology. Monty Roberts Certified Instructors are qualified to teach Join-Up® and Long-Lining classes worldwide as well as the Monty Roberts Introductory Course and Horsemanship 101 classes.

The internship consists of a minimum of three months at Flag Is Up Farms, during which time you will assist with teaching and learn the skills necessary to run your own business. Existing Instructors will guide you through this process, and Monty will check your progress regularly.

Monty will assess you at the end of your three months and depending on your progress, you may need to complete further training, or you may be ready to graduate and join the exclusive and limited ranks of Monty Roberts Certified Instructors.
