Sporting Excellence Study Programme
Wednesday 06 December 2017
Haddon Training and British Showjumping have launched the Sporting Excellence Study Programme for young people ages 16-19 years old to study towards a Level 3 Certificate in Understanding and Achieving Sporting Excellence.
Applications closed for this programme on the 30th of November, however, due to an update in the eligibility criteria we would like to re-open applications for this programme.
