    Rationale:

    Thoroughbred Horseracing is a highly regulated industry, yet the sector does not have nationally registered qualifications. This Qualification will enable trainers in the sector to get official accreditation for programmes aligned towards this qualification.

    The learners who achieve this Qualification will be empowered to function at a level that will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the industry as a whole. This Qualification will also be added to a growing list of training programmes and Qualifications that will place the South African thoroughbred horseracing industry at the forefront of its larger international community. Similarly it will add credibility to the industry's relationships with local equine and equestrian sectors.

    South African thoroughbred horseracing has succeeded in attracting significant international investment. This Qualification will provide these investors with additional satisfaction that their horses in South Africa are well cared for, which may generate further investment, thereby enhancing the economic development of the nation.

    The Intention of this Qualification is to:
  • Promote the development of functional knowledge and competencies that are required in the thoroughbred horse racing environment.
  • Develop the potential of jockeys in the thoroughbred horse racing environment.
  • Provide opportunities for career pathways and life-long learning for learners in the thoroughbred horse racing environment. 

  • LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
  • Communication at NQF Level 3.
  • Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 3.
  • National Certificate: Equine and Equestrian Practice at NQF Level 3.

    Recognition of Prior Learning:

    This qualification may be achieved in part through the recognition of prior learning, which includes formal, informal and non-formal learning and work experience.

    Access to the Qualification:

    Access is open to all learners bearing in mind the learning assumed to be in place. 

  • RECOGNISE PREVIOUS LEARNING? 

    QUALIFICATION RULES 
    The qualification consists of fundamental, core and elective unit standards. A minimum of 147 credits is required to achieve the qualification. The credits are allocated as follows:

    5.3 The health of the thoroughbred horse is maintained by implementing equine welfare principles.

    Integrated Assessment:

    Assessment should be carried out at regular intervals as well as at the end of the periods of study and should be offered in an integrated way. It is envisaged that learners will work at more than one Unit Standard at a time.

    The achievement of applied competence of this Qualification will be demonstrated if the learner is able to apply operational knowledge and skills to operate within a given security environment.

    Evidence is required that the learner is able to achieve the purpose of the Qualification as a whole at the time of the award of the Qualification. Integration of skills will be demonstrated through the achievement of the core Unit Standards.

    Assessors should note that evidence if integration could well be presented by learners when being assessed against the individual Unit Standards. Thus, there should not necessarily be separate assessments for each Unit Standard and then further assessment for integration. Well designed assessments should make it possible to gain evidence against each Unit Standard while at the same time gaining evidence of integration.

    There are a number of Core Unit Standards that through assessment will address competencies required in the Fundamental Unit Standards. Evidence for these Fundamental Unit Standards can therefore be obtained while the learner is providing evidence for Core Unit Standards. This may also apply to the Elective Unit Standards. 

  • INTERNATIONAL COMPARABILITY 
    The horse racing environment is an area with globally recognised best practices, standards and Qualifications. This Qualification and set of Unit Standards utilises international and locally recognised best practice and standards. The leaders in the horse racing industry are Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.

    Internationally, Jockey training is conducted over a period of three to four years and is offered as ONE Qualification, with a progression of difficulty for each year of study. In South Africa we have opted for individual Qualifications each of a year in duration. This has been made possible because of the fact that South Africa are using Unit Standards for the development of the Qualifications and this allows for the progression and difficulty to be built in to each individual Unit Standard.

    The following Qualifications, courses, modules and standards were used as part of the international comparability exercise:

    Japan: The Horse Racing School (The Japan Racing Association):
  • Jockey Course (Three years).
    > Academic Subjects.
    > Riding Techniques.
    > Basic Training: Self Discipline and Motivation.
    > Good Stable Practice: Feeding and Watering.
    > Step by Step Practical Horse Handling.

    This course compares well to our Qualification, there is however, only one major aspect which is different in that they offer the Jockey Apprenticeship course as one course, where the South African Qualification is broken up into three separate Qualifications of one year each, with the Riding Skills, Horse Anatomy and Fundamentals advancing each year in their complexity. In this Level 4 Qualification the Basic Riding Skills and Good Stable Practice will already have been covered in the Level 2 Qualification. The Advanced Riding Techniques which from part of the above course are contained in this Level 4 Unit Standards. Also the above course has riding as a core subject whereas in South Africa it is an Elective subject.

    Australia - Racing Victoria Limited:
  • Jockey Apprenticeship (Three Years):
    > Understanding the thoroughbred horse.
    > Stable skills.
    > Horse health.
    > Basic riding.
    > Race riding.
    > Literacy and numeracy.
    > Drug awareness.
    > Roads driving education.
    > Diet and nutrition.
    > Public interaction and client interaction.
    > Information technology.
    > Personal financial planning.
    > Media protocol.
    > Personal health and fitness.
    > First aid.

    The composition of the above Certificate is very much in line with this Qualification, with the exception that their Qualification as with the Australian one covers some subjects found in our higher level Qualifications as we have split ours into three separate Qualifications from Levels 2 to 4. This Level 4 Qualification only covers sections like Race Riding and Horse Health for an apprentice jockey. The Australian qualification also have 'Fundamental' learning taking place each year as with the South African qualification. They have in addition modules on personal health and fitness not covered in the South African Qualification. This Level four covers additional content like the rules and regulations surrounding thoroughbred horse racing. The above course also offers horse riding as a Core subject, whereas in South Africa it is an Elective one.

    New Zealand: New Zealand Qualifications Authority:
  • National Certificate in Equine (Stable Practice) (Level 3) (110 to 120 Credits).

    This Qualification compares well to New Zealand Qualification although some Unit Standards are covered on our level 3 Qualification and not at this Level 4. The major differences are that our Core Unit Standards are found mainly in their Elective ones and they offer addition Electives which are not offered in South Africa e.g. Generic Equine skills and Harness Racing. Also they have more standards than South Africa - where we have combined more outcomes into fewer Unit Standards. Lastly the New Zealand Qualification offers learning in subjects we have incorporated into our Equine Qualifications, which are 'Learning Assumed to be in Place' in this Level 4 Qualification.

    United States: Frank Garza Jockey School:
  • Jockey/Exercise Rider Program.
    > Grooming and tacking.
    > Mounting and dismounting.
    > Track terminology.
    > Track Safety.
    > Barn loyalty.
    > Posting and elevating.
    > Seat and form.
    > Use of whip and crop.

    This programme compares fairly well with this Level 4 Qualification as it covers all the content. It does however not deal with many issues but only covers the race track and riding skills where in our draft Qualification we cover a much broader range of skills including understanding a horse and the anatomy of the horse. Like many other international programmes, they offer horse racing and riding as Core learning and not Elective as in ours. They also do not offer any Fundamental learning. The use of a whip and crop are contained within our Unit Standards.

    United Kingdom: British Horseracing Board:
  • Racehorse Care Course:
    > Care for racehorses.
    > Riding racehorses.
    > Information Technology.
    > Working with other people.
    > Working with numbers.
    > Communication.
  • Equine Industry Conversion Course:
    > Training racehorses.
    > Career options.
    > Race riding style.
  • Apprentice and Conditional Licence Course.
    > Build on jockey skills.
    > Ride a racehorse in public.
    > Coaching on stalls work.
    > Riding at speed.
    > Professionalism and integrity.
    > Motivation.
    > Diet and nutrition.
    > Personal fitness.

    These courses compare well to this Certificate however, they cover a period of two to three years. The modules are very similar to our Unit Standards, but again it can be seen that horse riding is a core subject and not an Elective like in the South African one. They also offer the 'Fundamental' type learning in numeracy and literacy. They also offer learning on 'Training Racehorses' which is not part of our Draft Level 4 Qualification but may be included as a separate higher level Qualification at a later stage.

    Korea: Korea Racing Association:
  • Certificate: Horse Racing in Korea (2 years):
    > Horsemanship.
    > Equestrian Arts.
    > Rules of Racing.
    > Work Ethics.
    > General Art.
    > Official Jockey Test.

    This certificate compares well with this Level 4 Qualification in that it deals almost exclusively with the same type of content found in our Unit Standards. Their modules however are much broader than ours and they also offer 'General Art' which we do not. Once again the above Qualification shows very broad subject matter was as we have split ours up into individual Unit Standards and they offer horse riding as a Core item and not Elective.

    Ireland: Racing Academy and Centre of Education:

    The Trainee Jockey Course (42 Weeks):
  • Phase One (14 weeks):
    > Practical riding.
    > Stable management.
    > Stable and yard routines.
    > Racehorse care and exercise.
    > Personal effectiveness.
    > Information Technology.
    > Communication.
    > Mathematics.
  • Phase Two (18 weeks):
    > Practical Experience in mucking out, grooming, tacking-up and general riding.
    > Assisting the trainer.
    > Life style and nutrition.
    > Managing money.
    > Media skills.
  • Phase Three (10 weeks):
    > Working for a trainer.
    > Morning and evening stable activities.
    > Leading up at race meetings.
    > Riding out racehorses.

    The above Qualification which is split up into three distinct phases aligns well to the South African Qualification, again with the only main difference is that horse riding is offered as a Core learning subject and not Elective as in South Africa. It must be noted that most of their Phase three is covered in our Level 4 with additional Unit Standards including the 'Fundamental' learning which is not covered in theirs. The only difference is that they offer lifestyle and nutrition training.

    Conclusion:

    This qualification aligns to international best practice, it compares well with a number of Certificates, Qualifications, Courses and Programmes that compare well to this Certificate with the exception that they offer horseracing/riding as Core learning whereas in this Qualification it is Elective learning. There are however two other recognisable differences, in this Qualification is run over a period of one year and we have two additional Qualifications at Levels 2 and 3 which are run before this one. If the content is closely looked at it can be clearly seen that South Africa is certainly on a par with its international counterparts.
