The training course is organised into several skill modules, allowing for step-by-step progression. It alternates between theoretical input, practical sessions and assessment periods to promote hands-on, progressive learning.

BC01 – Contributing to the running and development of the equestrian centre

BC02 – Preparing and safely leading introductory sessions in equestrian activities

BC03 - Safely carrying out maintenance work and looking after the school horses, as well as maintaining equipment and facilities

Throughout the course, learners receive personalised support with regular monitoring by the teaching team and progress reviews to tailor the learning to each individual’s needs.

The work placement also enables students to develop professional skills in a real-world setting.

Skills are assessed progressively through role-plays, practical exercises, professional projects and assessments carried out throughout the course.

Our teaching methodology prioritises a practical, work-focused approach: case studies, role-plays, practical scenarios and collaborative activities enable learning in conditions that closely resemble the real-world workplace.
