I was chatting with a friend over the weekend who is considering undertaking a farriery apprenticeship. This covers four years at Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE.
The thing that is required whilst undertaking an apprenticeship is that a farrier is willing to take the student on over this period of time whilst they’re gaining skills and a qualification. This particular friend has set up with her farrier where he’ll take her on for a 3 month trial prior to enrolling in the apprenticeship.
I think this is a great initiative as it allows potential future farriers to see what they think of farriery as a potential income earner before taking on a 4 year apprenticeship. Perhaps if you’re considering this as a career idea, you could look into a farrier that is willing to offer the same.
