At Level 2, you'll get an introduction to important topics in horse care. You might choose things like grooming and feeding horses, maintaining tack, riding and jumping and the basics of horse biology.
Depending on the size of qualification you choose, you might also do work experience and gain practical skills on the job.
At Level 3, you'll gain in-depth insight into the techniques and science of horse management. You might cover topics like table yard management, preparing horses for competitions and understanding genetics for horse breeding. You'll also gain plenty of practical experience in your choice of skills, from riding and exercising horses to teaching other people to ride.
You'll learn with your training provider - maybe through practical sessions, group discussions or assignments.
You'll be assessed on assignments, one for each unit you complete.
