Experience

No experience of horseracing is required. Just a desire to work in media.

The Racing Media Academy was devised after broadcaster and entrepreneur Josh Apiafi, identified a barrier to getting new diverse talent into the horse racing media.

The Racing Media Academy is part of the Racing Pathway strategy. It gives its students the opportunity for work experience and training within racing’s top media houses.

An intensive week’s training has been designed at The British Racing School, where students will gain an insight into the world of horse racing and learn about the different areas of the media.

This means that those who don’t know very much about horse racing but have a passion for the media or those passionate about racing with no media experience can still apply.
