Course overview

Open to anyone aged 16 or over, who works more than 30 hours per week in a licensed racing stable, learners must already have completed their Level 2 Apprenticeship or have relevant occupational experience. The qualification involves projects and assignments in horse care and management and includes optional specialist areas, collecting evidence of competency and practical assessments. There is a non-riding route for those wishing to concentrate in specialist horse care.

The Level 3 Apprenticeship is an ideal way to increase knowledge and completion is a statement of practical competence to perform the required duties.

Level 3 Apprenticeship is completed largely at the learner’s place of work, with a member of the Training Provider’s Roving Tutor team visiting every 4-10 weeks with a final one-day assessment.

Eligibility

The Level 3 Apprenticeship also prepares individuals for positions of responsibility in a racing yard. It is linked to the Scale 4 racing wage. The Level 3 Apprenticeship is a mandatory requirement for all prospective licensed racehorse trainers and permit holders.
