THE EDUCATION COURSE HOSTING/APPLICATION PROCESS IS CHANGING FOR 2012 COURSES
Changes include modifications to the fee schedule related to hosting and member and non-member attendance rates.
A reservation process for your AHA Faculty and education course dates is being implemented starting 2012.
PROCESS HIGHLIGHTS: The first step, for all courses being held in 2012, is to download the hosting requirements for the course from this site.
Step two, once the requirements have been reviewed, is for the proposed host facility to contact and contract with an AHA Faculty member.
Once a date and schedule exist, please contact the AHA office via phone or email to reserve the faculty member and dates for the course. You will then be sent the necessary forms to complete to finalize the process – with a requirement that these forms be received back at the AHA offices within five working days.At this time, please contact the AHA office via phone, 877-851-4592, or via email at info@americanhippotherapyassociation.org for information regarding these changes, and to start the process for any 2012 course dates.
