Our courses are delivered at the Ride High Equestrian Centre in Milton Keynes, giving young people aged 13–25 the chance to gain a nationally recognised City & Guilds qualification in a supportive and practical environment.
These non-ridden courses are designed especially for students who don’t thrive in traditional classrooms. Learners work outdoors with horses, building both industry skills and essential life skills to help them succeed in the future.
To be eligible to apply students must have an Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP).
We are currently offering seven City & Guilds courses:

Our courses are delivered in partnership with Haddon Training who can also provide Functional Skills (Maths and English) training for students if required.
Functional Skills training will need to be agreed by the Local Authority as part of the package for the student.
The Functional Skills sessions are delivered in person, onsite at Aim High, by Haddon Training on a fortnightly basis and the students have access to an online platform that they are able to access at any point with their login.
