New Animal Care and Equine Grooms Standards Launched
The Institute for Apprenticeships has announced that the Animal Care Level 2 Apprenticeship Standard and the new Senior Groom Level 3 Apprenticeship Standards are now live and ready for us to deliver - this is great news!
These standards have been developed by a group of business employers, outlining the knowledge, skills, and behaviours that reflect the latest industry practices. These have replaced the existing Frameworks and will quickly become nationally recognised as leading sector qualifications.
Individuals will need to achieve the core skills and knowledge, behaviours as well as choosing specialised pathways to complete their training.
