Trackwork Riding Skills and Safety (Micro-credential) (Level 3)

Ākonga must be employed in the equine sector, in a role that will allow the micro-credential outcomes to be met.
Entry is subject to the discretion of a Primary ITO representative, who coordinates enrolments, based on discussion with the learner and their employer. This discussion considers the learner's intended skills pathway and the likelihood of success, including access to support and relevant resources.

Entry includes the completion of a training agreement signed by the ākonga, employer, and a Primary ITO representative.

What can I expect out of this qualification?

The purpose of this micro-credential is to provide the equine sector with ākonga who hold the skills and knowledge to follow thoroughbred racing protocols and can ride on a track safely at pace. This includes understanding thoroughbred racehorse training techniques and principles, communicating effectively within a team and to external stakeholders and describe legislation and employment contract obligations in an equine workplace.

This micro-credential is for ākonga new to the thoroughbred racing industry, or experienced members of the industry who wish to have their existing skills formally recognised.

This aim is achieved by supporting ākonga with both on-job and off-job learning, allowing learning to be applied in a practical way, across a range of situations, within the learner's role in the workplace.
