The Equicantis Student & Graduate Programme - Start Smart
We believe the best time to set up the right systems is from the start – not after months of juggling paperwork and lost client notes.
That’s why we created the Equicantis Student & Graduate Programme – to give you the tools to run your business confidently, for free, from day one.
That's right, Equicantis is free for students! And if you've recently graduated or qualified from your animal therapy course, you can also access Equicantis free for three months with further support beyond!
Are you training as a...
- veterinary physiotherapist?
- equine or canine massage therapist?
- animal chiropractor?
- osteopath?
- musculoskeletal therapist?
- exercise and rehab specialist?
- equine bodyworker?
- other complementary animal profession?
Then the Equicantis Free for Students Programme is for you!
What you get:
- Free access to Equicantis while you’re studying
- 3 months free after graduation
- 25% off for a further 9 months
So you can access all the features of Equicantis Pro (minus the invoicing feature) for the entire time you are a student, and are further supported through your first year in practice.

Why we're doing this
Equicantis was created by Laura Clinton, an Equine Musculoskeletal Therapist, who qualified over 15 years ago. She knows how overwhelming it can feel when you’re just starting out, even after all the study and training.
This programme exists because she believes students deserve more than just a qualification, they deserve support to start smart, grow with confidence, and feel professional from day one.
You can get familiar with creating and writing session reports/treatment notes, annotating anatomical diagrams, gathering client information and what's expected for vet consent and referral.
You can explore our exercise library and hit the ground running with creating home exercise programmes and exercise and rehab plans within your scope of practice.
Then get into the nitty gritty of how you'll create appointments and run your diary, how you'll create and add your terms and conditions and cancellation policies. And then once you're qualified, you'll get access to the invoicing feature for the next stage of your business when you gain paying clients.
It’s about setting you up for success now – not fixing things later.
