The NARS Education Programme (NEP) originally began in 2013 when funded by Union Learn and the available courses for racing staff have evolved over time.
Over the last twelve years we have helped over 1000 racing staff take part on courses, with 97% of those gaining a qualification/accreditation for that learning experience.
The face-to-face courses tha we are currently running are:
Equine photography
We offer two levels of this exciting course and both of them include trips to locations around Newmarket — such as the Racecourse, Tattersalls, the Gallops, a yard, a stud and the British Racing School — giving you a real chance to get live behind the scenes photographs.
Both of these courses are followed by a photography exhibition where you get to showcase your work.
English for Speakers of Other Languages
These courses are very popular and as well as being available for racing staff, they are run for the wider community by West Suffolk College.
Having formed a link and good relationship with West Suffolk College, we are now also able to offer online courses to staff based all around the country.
