Experimental Animal Science Basic Course

Since the enactment of the new Animal Welfare Act, all individuals conducting animal experiments for the first time must demonstrate their expertise by participating in a basic course in experimental animal science. In collaboration with LAS-interactive, IBF offers an online course for acquiring theoretical knowledge. Practical skills will be imparted in an on-site module.

Registration Information:

Registration is exclusively through the registration form on the IBF website. Please understand that we cannot accept telephone or simple email registrations.

The theoretical knowledge is acquired through self-study using the LAS-interactive online platform and is concluded with an exam. Each participant will receive an institute code upon registration, which must be provided during registration on LAS-interactive. The course language can be chosen as either German or English. The exam will be taken individually at a predetermined time. The exam can be retaken once at no additional cost after an unsuccessful attempt.

After successfully completing the theory, registration for practical exercise modules is possible. The number of participants for each exercise is limited, and placements are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Full attendance is mandatory during the course, and acquired skills will be assessed.

Costs:

Participation in both course components is subject to fees.

Invoices for the theoretical part will be issued directly by LAS-interactive. Access to the exam will be granted only after payment has been received by LAS-interactive. Please factor in this time frame accordingly.
