Candidates applying to a college for an Apprenticeship in Farriery must be supported by an Approved Training Farrier (ATF) who is willing to employ them throughout their Apprenticeship.
It may be necessary to look outside your local area for such an ATF and you may need to be prepared to live away from home during the Apprenticeship Period.
It is important to find someone you can work with for the duration of a lengthy apprenticeship.
Once accepted by the College all apprentices must be enrolled with the FRC and this will involve completion of an FRC application form and payment of an annual enrolment fee.
