Based in the heart of the equine industry and with strong links with Horse Racing Ireland, the Curragh Racecourse and RACE Training Academy, the courses have been very successful in preparing students of all ages for employment and careers in the industry locally, nationally and internationally.

We have an outstanding employment record of former students, with almost 100% of graduates attaining employment in the equine industry.
