Hi there 
I was just wondering if there is anyone on here who works in EAL/EAT or similar who is willing to share experiences/advice/advantages and disadvantages of the work etc with me?
I am 99% sure that i am going to venture into EAL as a career (however i cannot undertake my facilitator course until i am 21 (which will be in march 2013).
I have been volunteering with the RDA for a couple of years now which is what has prompted me to take this route, as i have realized it is where my passion lies.
The entry requirements for the course which will gain me an EAL facilitator certificate are that I am 21 years old, that i have experience with horses (which i do), and that i hold a recognized qualification such as counselling, teaching, adult education or therapy (which i have not got yet).
So, basically i need to know which course would be best to take so that i am able to get on to the EAL course. Would the CPCAB level 2 certificate in counselling skills be adequate or would i need further skills? I will contact EAQ directly but was just wondering if anyone had any info on here also, or any views/info at all relating to the work.
Thanks very much!
