Developed collaboratively by HRI's equuip and the IHRB, the Industry Induction Programme aligns with ongoing professional development goals, ensuring a consistent level of knowledge across the industry. Available on all devices, the platform offers translation options and provides additional resources on pensions, training, and stable staff support.
Essential Training for New Stable Staff in Horse Racing
The Industry Induction Programme sets a consistent standard for introducing new stable staff to horse racing. The online course is mandatory for stable staff entering the racing industry for the first time. It is a general introduction to the industry and topics covered include health and safety, equine safety and care, and race day practices and procedures.
The course sets a minimum standard of education for all new entrants to the industry and ties in with the continuing professional development and education objectives of HRI’s equuip and the IHRB.
