Welcome Thank you for enquiring about ICAT.
The following pages contain details of the courses and workshops planned so far. These are being constantly
updated with extra courses being run on demand. Group numbers are kept small to ensure individuals receive
a high standard of personal tuition.
The Institute was set up in 2002 and rapidly established itself as a leading centre for those wishing to learn
more about complementary therapies and their benefits in the animal kingdom. ICAT has gained international
status with students attending from all over the United Kingdom and further afield. One keen learner attended
from Moscow and is now the first equine massage therapist in Russia! As well as setting up practices in the UK,
some of our graduates are based in Ireland, France, Portugal, Canada, Spain, Singapore, Sweden, Australia and
New Zealand!
In recent years ICAT has been providing its popular Equine Sports Massage course in New Zealand.
Accreditation
The Institute is a registered learning provider UKRLP 10013501 and a nationally approved training centre with
OCN LONDON and LANTRA AWARDS
The Principal
The Principal and chief assessor is Julie Boxall-Tully who has been working with animals for over 30 years. Coming from an equestrian and agricultural background and having a love of dogs and horses, Julie developed a keen 'eye' for conformation and movement. It was this interest in muscles and locomotion that was to develop into a lifelong career with humans and animals!
A qualified sports therapist, adult and further education teacher (PGCE), riding instructor and practitioner of
complementary therapies on humans and animals, Julie taught human sports therapy and various
complementary therapies at a FE College for a number of years before developing her skills and knowledge in
animal therapy. She was initially trained by the Iate Pamela Hannay, who was Senior Instructor of the Ohashi
Institute in New York. She is also a qualified McTimoney-Corley Skeletal therapist for both humans and animals.
Julie is now regarded as one of the most experienced animal sports massage therapists in the UK, having
treated a vast variety of animals over the years.
Industry Awareness
Julie has been a member of the National Occupational Standards (NOS) committee who review standards in the
Animal Care and Welfare industry. Julie initially set up and was Chairperson of the Massage and Soft Tissue
(MAST) sub-group involved in the Defra/RCVS review of the Veterinary Surgeons’ Act 1966. She is currently
Chairperson of the Sports Therapy and Massage Practitioners (STAMP) group representing many animal
paraprofessional associations from across the UK at top level industry stakeholder discussions.
(See further down) Review of Minor Procedures Regime (RMPR).
The Team
We are proud to have a professional team of experts who regularly lecture on the practitoner programmes
including veterinarians, master saddlers, farriers, equine dentists and qualified ICAT graduates.
Working closely with this team, the ICAT courses are regularly updated to ensure that learners are informed
about any new and exciting developments in animal therapy, health and safety information or practitioner
legislation.
Location
ICAT equine courses are held at local BHS recognised stable yards in Devon and Somerset. Facilities include use
of undercover American style barns, indoor and outdoor schools and a comfortable classroom. The canine
© ICAT PROSPECTUS 2018
courses are held in warm comfortable spacious surroundings on the edge of Dartmoor National Park. Students
are actively encouraged to bring their dogs to class with them. There is a large lawned garden area outside the
classroom and plenty of good walks nearby.
Accommodation
This is available on site or in nearby B & B’s. A list of local accommodation is supplied upon receipt of booking.
All horses are provided so there is no need to bring your own. Canine companions are most welcome to stay in
the hotel and attend both the theory and practical sessions!
Media
Julie has frequently appeared on television and radio interviews including BBC Breakfast Time, Spotlight,
Newsround, BBC Radio 4 ‘Farming Today’, BBC Radio Devon ‘Justin Leigh Show’, as well as being featured in
many national magazines. She has written and published several articles on animal massage and has appeared
as a guest speaker for major events such as; Paws in the Park, Your Horse Live and the Kennel Club Canine
Sports Science Seminars.
Industry Legislation - RMPR Project
Defra are currently reviewing the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 (Exemptions) Order 1962 as part of the Review
of Minor Procedures Regime (RMPR) project. The purpose of the RMPR project is to undertake a review of how
a range of activities (“minor procedures” or “minor acts of veterinary surgery”) undertaken by non-
veterinarians should be controlled in the future.
The ICAT qualifications fill identified gaps in the animal care industry
Against the background of the RMPR and NOS reviews and subsequent changes to legislation, the ICAT
qualifications aim to equip learners with a specialist and nationally recognized qualification for Equine or
Canine Sports Therapy Massage and ICAT Myopractic Practitioners, thus enabling the holders of the
qualifications to practice in the UK.
It is worth noting that there are currently nearly 223,000 people working in animal care throughout the UK. It is
expected that by 2020 the industry will need a minimum of 88,000 new entrants according to the Lantra Model
for Employment Forecasting 2012 and based on data from the Institute for Employment Research.
The ICAT team look forward to welcoming you in the near future.

THE LEGAL ASPECT
The treatment of animals in the UK is controlled by the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966.
This Act’s main aim is to prevent lay persons from practicing ‘veterinary surgery’ which is defined as:
a) The diagnosis of diseases in, and injuries to, animals including tests performed on animals for diagnostic purposes;
b) The giving of advice based upon such a diagnosis; c) The medical or surgical treatment of animals; d) The performance of surgical operations upon animals.
Massage is covered under the *Exemption Order 1962 as a manipulative therapy. We abide by a, b, c, & d and
always work with veterinary approval, only address minor ailments or behavioural problems and DO NOT
‘diagnose and treat’.
The House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology (Complementary and Alternative Medicine
November 2000) defined Massage and Aromatherapy as ‘complementary’ because they ‘do not purport to
embrace diagnostic skills’.
By embarking upon its courses ICAT requires all its students to respect the Veterinary Surgeons Act
1966 and Exemption Order 1962 by never working upon an animal without gaining prior veterinary
approval.
INSURANCE
The exceptionally high standards of the ICAT Diploma courses have been recognised by a nationwide insurance
company who are happy to provide insurance for students/graduates.
They offer indemnity insurance of £2.5 million and an individual animal limit of up to £25,000. They can also
include business equipment/stock and personal accident cover for additional premiums.

Frequently Asked Question’s
Q. Can I get help with funding?
A. Some students have managed to get help from their local Citizen’s Advice Bureau for assistance with a
change of career. Others have had help from the European Social Fund. Contact your local C.A.B. or look online
under: www.gov.uk/business-finance-support-finder
Q. Are you a registered training provider?
A. Yes, we are on the UK Register of Learning Providers UKRLP; UKPRN 10013501.
Q. Do I need to bring my own animal with me?
A. Owners of quiet, sociable dogs are encouraged to bring them along to the Canine Massage class. However,
horses are provided for the Equine Sports Massage course.
Q. I am a veterinary nurse/BHSAI/human massage therapist can I start at Module 2?
A. No, everyone has to start on Module Block 1 and work their way up. Each Module block requires you to
complete case studies plus home study modules. We build upon previously learnt techniques on each level.
Q. What times do the course days start and finish?
A. Both equine and canine courses start at 0930 hours and finish approximately 1630 hours. We break for mid
morning coffee and afternoon tea, both of which are included in the course fee. Lunch break is for one hour and
is not included in the course fee.
Q. Do you offer bespoke courses or one to one tuition?
A. Yes, we can tailor courses to suit specific requirements or if existing course dates do not match school/work
holidays, we can offer one to one tuition. Please telephone to discuss requirements.

Terms and Conditions of Enrolment
ICAT issue Refer, Pass, Merit or Distinction grades for the ICAT Equine / Canine Sports Therapy programmes
based upon successful completion of all tutorial modules, home study assignments, case studies and a final
assessment module. OCNL do not grade assessments and you will be awarded a Pass or a Refer.
ICAT will provide a handbook for each of the tutorial modules and a final theory paper and practical
assessment for the final module. This course has been designed for people embarking upon a professional
career who have previously demonstrated commitment and responsibility and can manage their own
learning schedules.
The coursework is protected by copyright and must not be copied in part or in full
ICAT’s policy is one of continuous improvement; accordingly ICAT reserves the right to alter and
update course material without notice at any time
A re-sit of a final practical/theory paper incurs a fee of £100 each
If ICAT cancels/transfers your module for whatever reason, a new module will be offered and the fee
transferred across.
Please note that a non-attendance of any module tutorial will mean the candidate would still incur the fee for the missed module tutorial. If the candidate does not attend a catch up session, they will be withdrawn from the programme. The candidate will however remain liable for payment of the remainder of the fees for the outstanding part of the course.
ICAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE… I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed and the vast amount
of knowledge I obtained whilst studying with ICAT on the Equine Sports Massage course.
The Course is taught in an informal, friendly but effective manner, where not only do you learn the theory
aspect behind equine anatomy and a horse’s natural way of going, but practical hands-on experience too of
how to spot when there is a problem and the horse is suffering from muscular discomfort.
I managed to attend the residential courses, complete the case records and course work while working full
time and teaching in my spare time … it was hard going but so enjoyable, it didn’t feel like hard work!
The lectures are superb and the guest lectures and seminars equip you with a good basic knowledge of
Farriery, Saddle fitting, Equine Dentistry and what a vet looks for when assessing a horse and looking at
lameness.
As a qualified Equine Sports Massage Therapist I see a number of horses with ill fitting saddles and tack,
unbalanced feet and owners who genuinely care for their horse but know no different. ICAT prepares you for
all these encounters and enables you to work with horses and ponies with a variety of problems.
There is immense satisfaction when you can make a real difference to horses’
performance and well-being.
And you never stop learning!
I would recommend ICAT to anyone looking to increase their knowledge of
equine anatomy, muscular health and well-being issues, or anyone that is
looking to pursue a career in alternative/complementary therapies with
horses. You will follow a well-run, friendly but effective, informative teaching
syllabus and you too will find that learning is infectious … you just won’t be
able to stop!
