Are you waiting on exam results later this month?
Decided that school isn't for you after GCSEs?
Level 2 and Level 3 courses in Equine offer you practical, hands-on learning with applied teaching.
As part of her Level 3 in Equine Management course Aine Cunningham completed her work placement at Castle Leslie Estate.
Aine said: โI really enjoyed my five week work placement. I got the opportunity to further my riding skills, learn how to drive a carriage, and got to experience work in a busy equestrian centre. I loved meeting new clients and taking them out around the estate. Every day was different, and I learnt so muchโ.
If you are interested in an Equine career visit www.cafre.ac.uk for course information.
