Travel and accommondation

Where is the nearest airport? (EU, Germany)

Düsseldorf International and Cologne Intern. Airport are the closest ones in Germany. As we are located in the 3 border triangle Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium students can also fly in to Amsterdam (Schiphol International) in The Netherlands or Brussels (Zaventem International)
airport in Belgium.

How to travel to The Vluggen Institute (from the airport)?

As we are located in the countryside we recommend to rent a car at the airport. There is a possibility to take a train to the Cities Geilenkirchen or Heinsberg and from there you need to take the bus and switch busses once to get to Waldfeucht-Obspringen.

Do you offer accommodation?

No, we do not offer any accommodation, but we can send a list of nearby accommodations. There are several B&B, Pensions, Hotel and appartments to rent.

Courses and modules

What prerequisites does the Vluggen Institute require?

Although most of the people in our EDO® Non-Vet education are Equine body workers/Equine therapists / farriers / Equine dentists/ Vet tec, etc. and have a basic knowledge about the anatomy/biomechanics of the horse, we meanwhile also accept people without prior medical knowledge.. Equine Osteopath is a young profession and we noticed in the last couple of years that people right after high school want to become an Equine Osteopath and follow the education.

When do I have to pay the tuition?

The tuition for each module is due 14 days prior to the module start.

Do I have to buy any software to view course materials online?

Do I have to buy a computer program to view the course materials online?

What happens if I miss a module because of illness, e.g.?

If you miss one module, you still can continue with the next module of your group. You need to catch up on the missed module as soon as possible. We will check possible dates. You of course do not have to pay twice for the module. If you fully paid for the module and did not attend, you catch up on the module without paying again.
