What are Work Based Diplomas and Apprenticeships?
Haddon Training is able to offer you the opportunity to take NVQ based qualifications in Horse Care, Animal Care or Saddlery & Harness Making, dependent upon your previous experience and other criteria. For many people the training is government funded and therefore free.
Work Based Diplomas and Apprenticeships are hands on, practical, totally work-based qualifications. You do not need to go to college in order to undertake an Work Based Diploma or Apprenticeship you can train "on the job". This means you can get a job, get paid and get trained. This is very valuable for people working within the rural community, as well as those who for whatever reason, do not wish to go to college.
HT is currently able to support Learners through Diploma Levels 1 - 3 as part of an Apprenticeship.

A Work Based Diploma is a straight forward practical qualification. An Apprenticeship is made up of a framework which incorporates an Work Based Diploma together with ERR (Employers Rights & Responsibilities), a Knowledge Element, PLTS (Personal Learning & Thinking Skills) and Key Skills. Both Horse Care and Animal Care Apprenticeships also require a First Aid qualification. An Apprenticeship at Level 2 is considered equivalent to 5 GCSEs. An Advanced Apprenticeship is considered equivalent to 2 A Levels.
