Maybe you have ridden for years and want the work too. This diploma covers handling, feeding, stabling, shoeing, health and running a yard. It moves at your speed, online.
The daily jobs you already do, explained in order.
Feeding, feet, health and turnout, from the ground up.
The last level covers events, facilities and running an enterprise.
Equine work runs on yards, studs, riding centres and events. Days look like mucking out, feeding, turnout, checking feet and keeping the routine tight.
Handle daily care across a string of horses.
Watch condition, feed and living standards.
Keep a breeding yard on its routine.
Run the day shift at a riding centre.
Set up, steward and clear a show day.
Plan lesson and care schedules.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every yard is different, and most ask for hands on time with horses alongside study.
Three levels, from first handling to running a yard.
Three things worth knowing.
Basic, intermediate and advanced certificates sit inside the diploma.
Bedding, tack, shoeing, clipping, travel and facility design.
Organising a horse event and managing an enterprise.
Plus CPD credits and career support
From the college, once the three levels are done.
Credits toward your professional growth.
Job listings, CV help and interview prep.
Yard work, stud work or your own horses.
An advisor is straight about what online study covers.
Upfront, or weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Enrol and open the first level.
No. Plenty of students study before they have one.
No. The first level starts with handling and basic care.
This one is about care, not lessons in the saddle. It covers exercise and conditioning, so you understand the work a horse does. The riding itself stays with your instructor.
None, ever. You move at whatever pace suits you.
Six months of access across the three levels.
Yes. Facility design, events and enterprise are all in the advanced level.
It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, and it earns CPD credits. It is not a QQI course and not a national award. Yards hire on how you handle a horse, and this gives you the reasoning behind good handling.
There is a money back guarantee for the first fourteen days, less the admin fee.
This diploma is delivered by The Career Academy.

Picture a cold morning, a full yard, and every horse in your care doing well.
