Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 23, 2019 Journalists Share Posted January 23, 2019 The six-month 2019 Diploma in Stud Practice and Management at the Irish National Stud Course began on Jan. 15. Thirty students from 12 different countries are taking part in the 22-week course which lasts until the end of June and aims to educate young people for a career in the Thoroughbred industry. The course combines practical stud work with an evening lecture program and it is enhanced by achieving accredited Level 3 Thoroughbred qualifications while attending a significant number of seminars and practical workshops featuring industry experts. “The practical opportunities and access to industry figures the Diploma students get during the course is, I believe, equivalent to about three years work in normal circumstances,” said Irish National Stud Director Tim Lane. “For those making the move to Thoroughbred work from other disciplines, this is really fundamental and it helps spring board their careers in the industry.” “The graduates from the Diploma and the TBA’s E2SE courses are such an important element for the National Stud to be involved with. Without quality stud staff, none of us are going to be able to see a sustainable future for the breeding industry,” said the Irish National Stud Chairman the Duke of Roxburghe. “We are very privileged and excited that the 2019 students will be the first cohort to partake in the Diploma course under the patronage of the Duchess of Cornwall.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
