Johnny Murtagh has been granted a training licence by the Irish Turf Club.
Murtagh owns the Curragh stables where Tommy Carmody is based and has been working alongside the trainer while undergoing his preparation to take out a licence.
The team started out last year and sent out a number of big-race winners, including Irish St Leger winner Royal Diamond and English Leger fourth Ursa Major for owner Andrew Tinkler.
The Classic-winning rider now plans to take over the running of the operation, combining his training interests with his career in the saddle.
He told the Irish Times: "I finished the course and the Turf Club has granted me a licence to train.
