Im 15 and am hoping to be a riding instructor/trainer. I am doing BHS exams at present but am wondering what qualifications i will need and what i should study etc.
Some people have said i should leave school after my junior certificate (irish equivalent of GCSE’s) and study an apprentership at a UK college (Im a British citizen).
What do people think?
Thanks 
I think you would be best to leave school after year 11 and go to a college, I think the BCA (Berkshire Countryside College) is a college with a few different courses to study, as well as some to do when you are 18. It has a massive floodlit arena, and room for 53 horses, so you can bring your own if you have one.

Kind of a hard question to answer since your in a different country. I would finish school but there are ways to start your equine studies early. Check into evening classes at your local college Or try New Horizons Equine Education Center, they have courses that are stepping stones to college classes and are cheap as well as done through the mail so you can do them anywhere. You can also check out this web site http://www.learningabouthorses.com but finish school you need something to fall back on incase things dont work out the way you plan.
