Farriery - Advanced Apprenticeship

The course will allow the apprentice farrier to gain the Level 3 Work-based Diploma in Farriery and then progress to take the Diploma of The Worshipful Company of Farriers examination. This is the only route available to become a registered Farrier in the UK.
Farriery apprenticeship placements are both limited and are in high demand nationally so ensuring that you have all of the entry requirements is vital.
The course operates as an Advanced Apprenticeship where you will work for an Approved Training Farrier (ATF) and attend college on a block release scheme where your assessments and theory teaching take place and your progression will be monitored. Once you have successfully completed the Level 3 Work-based Diploma in Farriery you will be eligible to progress to the Worshipful Company of Farriers Diploma examination.
