Lab Animal Training

Working with laboratory animals entails a profound responsibility - for the welfare of the animals and for the quality of research. Expertise in the area of lab animal science is therefore essential. For over a decade, we have been deeply committed to the education and training of our participants, equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to handle laboratory animals and perform procedures with competence and care.

Additional Training

We are always interested in expanding our course portfolio according to your needs. Here are some examples of the training we have successfully provided in the past:

  • We offer §3-compliant continuing education workshops, delivered either online or directly at your institution (e.g. as part of a summer school). Content and format can be tailored to the experience level and needs of your participants.

  • Hands-on training in specific experimental or surgical techniques can be arranged upon request. Please contact us to discuss your methodological requirements, and we will assess the feasibility of providing customized training either within one of our existing courses or as a bespoke standalone course.

  • We provide selected stand-alone theory modules in accordance with EU guidelines and German legal requirements, including:

    • Module 1 - German legislation for experienced international scientists planning to conduct animal research in Germany (Module

    • Module 20 – Anaesthesia for minor procedures

    • Module 21 – Advanced anaesthesia for surgical or prolonged procedures

    • Module 22 – Principles of surgery
