Drawing on our team’s experience and the needs of the sector, we organise courses with flexible timetables to prepare students for entry tests for the initial equestrian training cycle and the final cycle in dressage, show jumping and eventing.
Intermediate sports education programmes lead to recognised sports instructor qualifications in different specialities and prepare students for employment.
Requirements for the first level or initial cycle:
- A compulsory secondary education qualification or an academically equivalent qualification, or successful completion of the university entrance examination for people over 25.
- Successful completion of the specific entry test.
Entry to the second level or final cycle requires completion of the preceding level in the relevant speciality and, where applicable, a further specific entry test.
Workplace training consists of educational placements, rather than employment, undertaken by students in post-compulsory education under a cooperation agreement between their school and a business.
These placements form part of programmes such as CAFEM, the initial and final equestrian training cycles in Olympic and non-Olympic disciplines, and other courses.
What students gain
- Training adapted to specific roles.
- An introduction to workplace culture.
- Workplace experience before their first job.
- A first professional record, documented in their placement logbook.
- Completion of the workplace training component of their vocational programme.
