Thermal Imaging Online Courses
Learn to Understand, Analyse & Apply Equine Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is becoming an increasingly valuable tool within the equine industry, providing non invasive way of identifying and analysing patterns of heat across the horse.
Our online thermal imaging courses have been created to help you understand how thermal imaging works, plus interpret images correctly. and explain how this technology can be applied in real world situations.
Whether you are completely new to thermal imaging or looking to develop your knowledge to an advance practitioner level, there are two different courses to suit your goals.
Learn about Image composition.
​

Science and technology behind the camera, and how to interpret the scans.
​

Get insights into real life examples.
Real life examples and explanations. Xrays and other modalities. Learn about everything a thermal camera can help to do.

Two Course Options
Equine Thermal imaging : Analysis & Application
Build your foundations and develop a confident understanding of equine thermal imaging.
£699.00
This course is designed for those who want to develop a strong understanding of thermal imaging and its application within horses.

Equine Thermal Imaging Advanced Practitioner Course
£1,400.00
Take your thermal imaging knowledge to an advanced practitioner level.
This is our advanced, FLIR specialist-based course, designed for those who want to develop a deeper understanding of equine thermal imaging and progress towards using thermal imaging in a more advanced professional capacity.
The course goes beyond simply taking thermal images. It focuses on image analysis, interpretation, technical understanding, case studies and the practical application of thermal imaging to the horse.
You will work through more advanced material designed to develop your ability to critically assess thermal images and understand the factors that can influence your findings.
​
Flir Specialist-Based Training
The course has been developed around FLIR thermal imaging technology and FLIR Thermal Studio, making it particularly suited to those using or planning to use FLIR equipment.
You do not have to own a FLIR camera to enrol on or complete the course.
However, having access to a FLIR camera is recommended, particularly if you want to gain practical experience alongside the online learning.
​
