Trainers Module 3 – Staff Management
The Trainers Courses consist of three modules, with each taking place over four or five days. They are a mandatory part of the criteria for a Licence to Train, as set by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), but do not confer automatic right to a Licence.

Course overview
The aim of the Courses is to prepare those individuals who are on the verge of applying for a Licence to Train, rather than to teach the art of training racehorses.
- Module 1: Racehorse Management (to be eligible to attend this course applicants must have achieved a Diploma Level 3 in Racehorse Care and Management)
- Module 2: Business Skills
- Module 3: Staff Management.
The above courses are made up of a series of seminars, which are delivered by specialist racing consultants, who each have extensive working knowledge of the horseracing industry.
With the increasing competition for staff and the complexity of employment regulations, this Module will equip you with important information on, and skills in:
Recruiting, employing and managing people
Health & Safety & Safeguarding obligations as an employer
Marketing
Employment Law and NTF Guide
Eligibility
Successful completion of these modules is essential for those wishing to pursue a career training racehorses.
Applicants must also complete Modules 1 and 2 but the Modules can be completed in any order.
What will you learn
This has been designed specifically for the racing industry and is a nationally recognised, skill-based qualification. The awarding body for the qualification is 1st 4 Sport.
Having learnt about Racehorse and Business Management in the first two Modules, this final Module concentrates on the other vital factor in a successful business – the people.
