The Open College of Equine Studies

Basic Stable Management Module Certificates

Modules of the TOCES courses can be studied individually or a selection from the different levels of course can be selected and studied together. This will suit students who wish to specialise in an area of study or those who wish to fill a gap in their knowledge before progressing onto a higher level course.

For example, students with many years’ practical experience but little scientific knowledge may wish to study one or more modules of Senior Horsemaster’s Course 1, such as Anatomy and Physiology, in preparation for enrolment on to a Higher National level course.

Modules have at least one work assignment to complete. You will receive the complete course module in comb-bound A4 booklet format. Complete all of the in-text questions before completing and sending in your work assignment(s). We will award a graded TOCES module certificate on completion.
