The benefits of an SCT apprenticeship include: Hands-on, practical experience in the workplace; A real wage; A recognised qualification; Good future employment prospects within the equine industry.

Many employers complain that equine colleges do not equip their students to cope with the demands of life in the real world — but SCT’s apprenticeships claim to deliver experience and qualifications that employers really want and need.

Olympic event rider Mark Kyle, who runs a large competition yard in Leicestershire with his wife Tanya, said: “We have successfully worked with Stubbing Court Training Ltd for the past six years. We have several working students and find with the excellent help and support provided by SCT the Apprenticeship programme allows apprentices every advantage to gain experience and knowledge to a high standard, giving them the practical skills required to work on any professional yard.”

As well as top eventing, dressage and showjumping yards, SCT also has very good contacts with riding schools and livery yards.
