It’s now official… 🎉
I am now a fully Qualified Saddle Fitter, with The Society of Master Saddlers!
After more than 5 years in the trade I can officially announce that I am now a Qualified Saddler, Qualified Harness Maker, and now Qualified Saddle Fitter.
The Society of Master Saddlers offer the only UK based Saddle Fitting Qualification that is also a City and Guilds accredited Qualification.
“The City and Guilds Assured Certificate in Saddle Fitting is a prestigious qualification that assesses a learner's comprehensive knowledge and understanding across the diverse topics required to become a Qualified Saddle Fitter. As a global standard of excellence, the Assured Benchmark is awarded by City and Guilds to organisations that demonstrate world-class quality in their course planning, design, and delivery.
The Assured Certificate comprises 6 units, all of which must be successfully completed. These include practical assessments in saddle fitting, conformation and templating, saddle manufacture and faults and a written assessment.” (Taken from the Society of Master Saddlers training site)
It’s been a long journey of learning many skills and gaining lots of knowledge from various professionals to get where I have, and I would like to thank each and everyone.
I’m looking forward to continuing with the craft I love, and would like to thank all of my customers that have supported me along the way.
Sincerely,
Gabrielle
