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 the apprenticeship. Candidates may find it necessary to look for an ATF outside of their local area and should be prepared to live away from home if necessary. The farriery apprenticeship is long so it is important that apprentice candidates feel comfortable with their ATF.

Interested candidates should:

  • Check they hold the minimum academic requirements for enrolment.  If you are unsure please check the farriery standard at IfATE or contact the Admissions team at the Farriery College to discuss.
  • Contact ATFs from the published ATF list to find one who is willing to employ and train them for the period of apprenticeship. 
  • Together with your ATF you should contact the College to arrange a learning agreement.
  • When the above are in place you must enrol with the FRC.

Once accepted by a College, apprentices must be enrolled with the FRC. This will involve completion of an FRC application form and payment of an annual enrolment fee. Colleges will provide enrolling apprentices with relevant information.
