About

With plenty of practical content, this course develops basic skills in farriery and related subjects. It's designed to prepare you for an apprenticeship in the farriery industry, or for beginning a career as a blacksmith.

Over the 16 weeks you'll make a portfolio of pieces. This will include all the mandatory test pieces from the Qualification Handbook, and will be examined at the end of the course by an external examiner.

You'll also take a practical exam in which you'll produce two test pieces from the current Qualification Handbook, and a single multiple choice test via the E-volve system.

This 16 week course is designed to prepare you for an apprenticeship in farriery or to follow a career as a blacksmith/in blacksmithing.

We'll cover a range of topics during the course, including basic maintenance, operation and control of forge hearths and gas furnaces, and safe working practices in forging, forming, cutting and joining.
