IMPORTANT INFORMATION (PRIOR TO REGISTERING YOU MUST DISCUSS THE FOLLOWING SKILLS TRAINING & ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENT WITH YOUR ESTABLISHMENT NTCO): The Live online virtual part of our UK accredited courses & modules meet the 'theory' learning outcomes appropriate to the Education & Training framework for Function A staff (UK PIL's A, B or C). There is also a mandatory requirement to complete hands-on skills training and assessment components of relevant Module(s) Learning Outcomes. This must be arranged with your establishment/employer NTCO, i.e. to complete PIL A we require verification of completion of (Module 3.2.1 & 8) species-specific animal handling skills training & assessment of competency. Your Named Training & Competency Officer (NTCO) is required to provide Charles River with signed verification documentation and the Directly Observed Procedure Skills forms (your local DOPS sign-off-record). This must be to a standard (DOPS) working with Charles River under our guidance & accreditation. This evidences your training & assessment of competency in the required skills of Modules 3.2.1 & 8.0 (for further information see our Terms & Conditions & Pre-course information provided upon registration).

The completed skills verification form (plus DOPs forms) must be returned to CRL within 3 months of the theory course attendance date. The accrediting body will not issue course certificate(s) after a period of 3 months post theory course attendance. Extension to this can be applied for on a case-by-case basis via CRL (must be NTCO supported and a strong justified reason).

Re-attendance of the full course (charged to the registrant) will be required if the accreditation body policy on skills completion is not adhered to.

Prior to approval of your registration, a probity check will be carried out with your establishment purchasing agent or NTCO.

Following approval of your registration you will be emailed your Charles River Campus Learner account details which will provide access to the online Zoom classroom session(s) (Zoom URL links), the course timetable and course handout material.

REGISTRATION NOTE: Within the comments section of the registration form, please enter your NTCO name & email.
