The racing industry is a diverse and exciting world to work in. When millions of people watch a race such as the Grand National, it is the culmination of a huge number of people and organisations.
British horseracing is among the world’s best regulated animal activities. The 14,000 horses registered in training at any one time enjoy a quality of life virtually unsurpassed by any other domesticated animal.
The industry employs over 6,500 people to provide constant care and attention for these horses and their welfare. The career paths in the industry are many. The common theme of all is a passion for horses, racing and the community around it.
There are so many different types of jobs in the racing industry, you will need to have a good think about what your skills are and where you might most enjoy working.
1st4sport Qualifications is the official awarding organisation for the racing and breeding industries.
These qualifications have been developed by the British Horseracing Authority and 1st4sport Qualifications, and are supported by employers and the horseracing industry.
