- Certificate IV in Racing (Racehorse Trainer)
- Certificate IV in Racing (Harness Race Driver).
The certificate courses can be completed in the following ways:

- Part time at our Melton class room at Tabcorp Park
- Full or part time in a harness racing workplace
- As an apprentice or trainee.
There is government funding available for eligible students and fees may be further reduced if you have a Commonwealth Health Care Card or Commonwealth Low Income Health Care Card. Participation in these courses may also enable Youth Allowance or Austudy for eligible students.
Certificates I, II and III are suitable for all levels of horse and industry experience. We will work with you to determine the best pathway for you in relation to your current skills and knowledge. The Certificate IV courses require some experience with horses and/or racing.
Our courses are open to students who are still attending Secondary School as either a School Based Apprentice/Trainee (SBAT) or a full fee for service student (no government funding). In either case the course contributes units to the successful completion of your VCE or VCAL.
