SVQs

Scottish Vocational Qualifications have been designed to relate specifically to people who work with horses and are achieved through continuous assessment of performance in the workplace.  The BHS has been accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Agency as an Awarding Body for SVQs in Scotland. 

The qualifications are available at Levels 1 and 2 in Horse Care and Level 3 in Horse Care and Management.  They are made up of a number of mandatory units and an optional unit (for example breeding, exercising horses, schooling horses, driving, trekking, breaking and competition groom) at Levels 2 and 3.

For further information on these awards see the main BHS website What are NVQs and SVQs?
