Becoming a student
High Quality Provision.

illustrated learning materials that are produced by experienced professionals
and employers within the equine industry.
All the information you require to study and complete the course
assignments is provided in comprehensive, illustrated work packs.
- Every assignment you produce is marked by experienced qualified equine tutors and returned within 4 weeks with detailed written feedback from the tutor.
- The assignments are checked by an internal assessor and a BTEC external verifier also makes regular visits to our centre to sample the assessments, checking for the quality of the feedback we provide. This ensures you receive the highest standard of assessment and feedback and can progress with confidence through the programme.

They are written in a clear manner and include summary sections, self-assessment questions, diagrams, pictures and illustrations. This can also be provided in printed format if preferred.

assist you in getting the most from your study time and how to complete your final course assignment.
