I was completing a training day for work recently. It focused on developing assessment tools for units of a course. This seemed timely as we are planning to offer a new horse course in the future. This lead me to the training.gov.au site to seek out the training package for this new course. This in turn lead me to My Skills and particularly my skills for equine industry in Australia.
As you search on the My Skills website, you’re able to enter a term or course name. So, if you enter horse, it’ll show you all the qualifications on offer in Australia relating to horses. Let’s take a look at the new Certificate III in Horse Breeding as an example.
“This qualification provides a vocational outcome for persons operating in a horse breeding or stud farm operation.”
When you click on this, you get a myriad of information:
- Average course fees as well as duration
- Description of the course
- Training providers of this course
- Details about financial assistance and VET fee loans
- Details on apprenticeships and traineeships
- Career pathways details relating to animals
Now as you go to explore career options, you can see how the current industry looks for people similarly qualified. You can find out many things about the industry it’ll entitle you to work in. So you can base your decision to get qualified on this.
If you want to work with horses in Australia and to also gain a qualification relating to this, check out this site. You can broadly search for horses. Or, you can make the search more specific if you want to know about breeding or performance courses, for example.
