With A Level results day in full-swing (15 August), you might be unsure as to whether university is for you.
“This is a great opportunity for Rein and Shine to offer young pupils an alternative career in sport and equine,” said owner John McDonald.
“The great part is, they don’t need to have any previous equine experience and therefore it could bring new people to the industry. It can show them what a great place an equestrian centre is to work or set them up to go on to higher education.”
After the new BETC qualification students can either go straight into work or continue with their studies at university.
VLUK was founded by two former senior teachers who believe in the importance of further education study options for young people with a passion and gift for sport.
Set up in 2008 VLUK now educates over 1,500 learners each year across a range of vocational programmes at over 75 delivery centres across England and Wales.
