Welcome!
Welcome to the new Online Learning units for Coaching, English and Maths - bringing world class training to everyone, available any time, anywhere.
In developing these units we have been delighted and privileged to work with some of the most successful professionals in the world to promote training and achievement through the Apprenticeship programme. We have had enthusiastic involvement from all parts of the horse industry, including Team GB coaches, leading international riders, a Eurosport commentator and Lycetts Insurance Brokers. We very much appreciate all their support and outstanding expertise.
The Maths and English Online Learning units are pioneering in showing where these skills are relevant and essential to yard and horse management to world class standards. Some of the filming for these units was done at the Sunshine Tour in Spain, so enabling apprentices and employers to see the daily use of Maths and English in performance at international level. The units include practical demonstrations, explanations, links to practice tests and step by step guides in the skills and techniques required to achieve these Functional Skills.
We hope this innovative way of learning and delivery will enhance your professional development and expertise, and inspire, motivate and encourage excellence.
