Apprenticeship Curriculum Intent
Apprenticeship Curriculum Intent
At present, the equine groom and senior equine groom apprenticeship are the only standards we deliver. It is specialist and applies to a ‘niche’ sector.
All our learners are employed in specific roles within the equine sector. Most equine employers are non-levy micro-businesses and have a younger workforce.
Our delivery team and leaders all have extensive experience working in the industry, in various roles, and understand the practical workplace and employability requirements for equine employees
The equine apprenticeship feeds into specific workforce development priorities identified within the rural sector, including improving employability skills, developing digital skills, meet changing needs and demands of employers and supporting progression within the workplace.
We have a strong employer engagement through our integration within the industry, weekly online training sessions, monthly workplace visits, progress reviews, sharing of policies and training plans.
Training Advisors are well qualified, experienced, and appropriately trained to carry out their roles and they always strive to put the learner at the heart of the learning environment.
The Employer Role
The Employer Role
1. As the employer, you are expected to give your apprentices an induction and provide on-the-job training. You are also responsible for paying your apprentices' wages and providing a safe and healthy environment in which to work.
2. You must sign an Employment Contract with them agreeing the normal terms and conditions for employees (specifying holidays, sickness, notice periods etc).
3. We work closely with apprentice employers to ensure training needs are met and the apprentices are supported at all times.
4. We endeavour to formulate a training plan which fits in with the workplace and takes advantage of busy periods where a lot of evidence and experience can be gathered for the apprentices' portfolios without disrupting the daily routine.

Equestrian Training's Role
Equestrian Training's Role
From the beginning we will guide, advise and support you on recruiting and employing an apprentice.
Once you have selected an apprentice, a senior team member will arrange to meet you both at your location. A parent/ guardian may also be present at this initial meeting, during which we ensure everyone understands what is involved in the apprenticeship.
Your apprentice will be assigned a qualified work-based training advisor who will support and guide you both through the qualification framework. We are always contactable and endeavour to be as flexible as possible with regular visits to site.
