WHAT THE APPRENTICES SAY:

“I took this opportunity because I thought it would be an advantage to be able to learn, while maintaining a full time job. I very much enjoy my job, being trained while earning a wage is a win win situation for me.” Steven Skillington, Level 2 apprenticeship at Norman Court Stud

“I’ve enjoyed the theory side of the apprenticeship more than I thought. I feel I have gained a lot more knowledge about the breeding industry because I do more research than I did in the past. I have also gained more confidence in my written work as my assessor always gives me the support I need.” Yasmin Fish, Level 2 apprenticeship at Norman Court Stud

“I wanted to complete a Breeding apprenticeship because I wanted to learn how to work on a stud instead of a general yard. I like to be busy and wanted to be part of a team, I love working with horses and the fact I get a qualification is a bonus!” Vicky Hutton, Level 2 apprentice at Mildmay Stud

“I decided to do an apprenticeship because I thought it was the best way for me to learn and achieve a qualification whilst working with horses. I learn a lot easier practically, than theory based work.” Simone Worsley, Level 2 apprentice at Mildmay Stud

WHAT THE EMPLOYERS SAY:

“Horse care apprenticeships are important for the breeding industry because they introduce students to an industry that requires a huge amount of knowledge from their staff, which is best learnt from practical experience.

This platform of training encourages attentive and knowledgeable grooms that have learnt their skills 'hands on', making them indispensable to Breeding establishments” Oliver Nash, Manager at Mildmay Stud

“It is important to invest in the grass roots of your employees. It is important to develop our young staff and help them achieve qualifications which they can further themselves with.” Paula Bevans the Yard Secretary at Norman Court Stud
