Advanced Apprenticeship - Level 3 Diploma (formerly NVQ 3) in Work Based Racehorse Care and Management
This training programme takes around 18 months to complete and increases your knowledge about racehorse care and management. It is often seen as a stepping stone to greater levels of responsibility within a yard as you will have already completed the foundation course (Level 2 Diploma). It's also a mandatory training requirement if you are aspiring to train horses either under a permit or as a licenced racehorse Trainer.
To complete the programme, you have to spend around 5 days at one of our approved training centres to undergo coaching and sit exams. The rest of the programme is assessed on project work which you complete as part of your daily routine. This should take you around 2-3 hours a week.
The course will include:
- 5 days of training (residential where appropriate)
- An emergency first aid certificate
- Technical certificate in advanced horsecare
- Further development of key skills including communication, numeracy skills, working with others and Information Technology
- You will achieve a Level 3 Diploma (formerly NVQ 3) in Work Based Racehorse Care and Management - and ultimately an Advanced Apprenticeship
"All my staff who have worked toward the Advanced Apprenticeship have proved to be a tremendous asset to the yard and have benefitted enormously themselves." Sir Mark Prescott
