Job description

An apprenticeship programme which opens the door to the racing industry

Our Foundation Course is the ideal place to start your career in racing. Whether you have some experience of riding and horses, or are a complete beginner, the British Racing School’s Foundation Course is the perfect stepping-stone to turn your passion for horses into a rewarding career working with some of the finest equine athletes on the planet.

The course is for 16-25 year olds and is split into two parts:

• Level 1 Diploma which takes place at the British Racing School over 12 or 18 weeks (depending on experience), and
• Level 2 Diploma where we will find you a full time paid job working in Horse Racing Yard where you can continue your training and begin an apprenticeship, fully supported by The British Racing School.

No experience is necessary, but a good attitude is essential

Successful applicants for the Foundation Course will be hard working, enthusiastic and keen to work in the racing industry. A certain level of fitness is required to work in a yard, so you will be given a fitness test as part of your interview. Yariv Kam is personal trainer who carries out our fitness test, if you wish to contact him then his website is newregym.co.uk
