Livery Yard Mangement course.

This course provides good all round coverage of the management aspects of running a livery yard.

• The course aims to ensure that students are aware of all related legal and financial requirements associated with running an equine establishment. 
  
• It also provides general business management skills including marketing, staff management, establishing a target market and attracting the right clients to your livery yard.

Those who also take the Lingfield Levels 1 & 2 courses as well as this one,will find that the information gained will provide those wishing to open their own livery yards with the skills and knowledge which it is expected will be required for the new Livery Yard Licensing. Licensing for all types of yard including DIY, is expected to be introduced by law in the foreseeable future.

This individual SC8 course is a business management course.

Students wishing to run their own yard however would do well to consider enrolling on Intermediate Diploma programme No: ID8/ELMP (which combines Level 1, 2 & SC8 courses into one enrolment)
