Trailblazers Farriery Standard Review

At BFBA Head Office, The Forge, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire

Starts at 10.30am

The current Trailblazer Apprenticeship was first introduced in 2013 with phase 2 being implemented in 2014. Farriery commenced its first cohort in 2019 under the new system.

The apprenticeship is typically 48 months in length, with the gateway at 42 months. The standard was scheduled, on the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IFATE) website, for a review after 3 years (2022), it was however thought sensible to allow the completion of the initial cohort to occur before conducting the first review.

As Chair of the Trailblazers David Hall has spent the last two years completing a comprehensive look at the apprenticeship, liaising with Government departments and stakeholders to see what is working well and what is causing problems. Part of that process importantly identifying what will keep the apprenticeship fit and relevant in to the 21st century.

As trailblazers is employer led, for any changes to be made they must be approved by ATFs. If you would like to attend the meeting to be part of the review then please email David Hall at davehall.dh67@gmail.com
