Who Are We?

The Australian Equine Institute (AEI) is a division of Intercept Group Pty Ltd; A family-owned and operated training organisation. Intercept Group, the Registered Training Organisation (RTO), was established in 1996, initially focusing on a Bodyguard course (reflecting CEO John's background). Over the years, Intercept Group has expanded its offerings to cover a wide range of training, including RSA, RCG, Aged Care, Child Care, and various safety courses at its dedicated safety centre in Tuggerah.

John and Roz, the founders, share a deep passion for horses. In 2011, they decided to integrate this passion into the company by developing their own course in Horsemanship. Over the course of 10 years, this program has evolved, culminating in its current form as the Certificate II and III in Horse Care.

The motivation to provide training in the equine sector arose from John and Roz's observation of a gap within the industry. At the time, there was a lack of educational resources covering the basics while also offering a pathway for individuals to become qualified and workplace-ready.

As AEI continues to grow, it has become a generational endeavour with the welcoming of Tori to the team.

Mission:

Our Mission is to provide quality service and information to the equine industry, whilst making education affordable and easy to achieve.

We want you to turn your passion into a career, just like we did.
