BETA is regarded by retailers as the primary source of training courses for those involved in the equestrian industry. Our courses are run for the trade, by those involved in the trade, specifically designed to suit the needs of the equestrian and country retailer in developing business and satisfying customer needs.

Courses are open to the whole of the equestrian industry, although BETA members will receive discounts where charges apply.
