Continuing Education Study Halls
Having applied to the CE Training Program and paid your tuition, you are now authorized to begin your academic training. This involves eight Study Halls with targeted reading assignments and online quizzes.
The Study Halls cover the history of the ISNHCP training program, the origins of the natural trim, our Great Basin wild horse model, basic natural trim mechanics, sequencing, our Oath and Code of Conduct, and much more. Targeted reading assignments span our required text books. Each Study Hall has an associated quiz. Quiz results are outsourced to an independent party who does the scoring for the ISNHCP.
A special training syllabus for CE students will guide you through your training.
Below are instructions for this training requirement.
Order your text books
Go to the ISNHCP Student Store and purchase all of the required "most current edition" text books that you do not already have. It is important that you have these specific editions because the Study Hall targeted reading assignments and quizzes are keyed to them, not earlier (outdated) editions. If you have all the current editions listed in the Student Store, then purchase nothing. Follow this link to the Student Store:
