The Equine Management Executive Certificate is a brand new 8-month training programme in English, designed for experts in the equine industry who want to improve their skills to meet the economic, social and environmental challenges facing the sector.

Backed by the expertise of EM Normandie Business School in management training and the Irish National Stud, renowned for its programmes in the equine sector, it combines theory and practice and is aimed at an international audience.

The Programme is based around study trips to Normandy and Kildare, Ireland - both of which are horse-friendly countries par excellence - to enable professionals to sharpen their knowledge of the equine industry and discover cutting-edge developments to meet the sector's contemporary challenges. Visits and professional events are also organised, offering professionals the opportunity to expand their network. Distance learning modules dedicated to the fundamentals of management and business administration complete the training programme.
