4.3 Combined Results
The following table summarizes the significant differences within the experts and practitioners groups.
Further the outcomes are classified in terms of their need and potential for improvement.

It is obvious that especially the satisfaction within the target groups differs significantly. Both
studies detected a significant difference within the groups in satisfaction with the certificated and
alternative education, the satisfaction with the quality standards of alternative practitioners, the
preference of combination of the educations, the preferred authority for the examination of
alternative practitioners and the view into the future. Further differences were detected within the

The sum of importance scores of TE + TP analysed that they find an examination regulation for
alternative hoof treatment practitioners the most important (sum 128), followed by the certification
