Horsemanship
This is a very popular course and its aim is to enable the learner to develop the knowledge, skills and competence in a broad range of equine skills to work in a variety of equine sectors under direct supervision, or progress to further education or training.
Progression Opportunities:
Past students have progressed on to further their equestrian skills and qualification in centres such as The Racing Academy ‘RACE’, The BHS Working Student Programme in Cherry Orchard Equine Centre, Pipers Hill, Kildalton Agricultural & Horticultural College , Grennan College , Dunboyne College. Recent years have also seen Learners progress on to Animal Science courses in Bray Institute of Further Education and Dun Laoghaire College.
Modules:
- Stable & Yard Routine
- Horse Riding
- Communications
- Work Experience
- Workplace Safety
- Information Technology Skills
How It Works
In our Centre, we work at your pace and an individual plan is created for each learner based on where they are at. This allows us to have a continuous intake of Learners during the year.
Our Learners receive a training allowance for attending the Centre which is a huge incentive for young people today to have some of their own income.
