Training
Accreditation
All training programmes for applicants for personal and project licences should be accredited under a scheme recognised by the Home Office.
The recognised accreditation scheme
Accreditation seeks to achieve common and high standards for licensee training which will facilitate free movement of licensees within UK and Europe as well as ensuring high standards in the use of animals for scientific procedures.
The Accreditations Schemes for training programmes for personnel working under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, operated by the Institute of Biology, the Universities’ Accreditation Scheme and the Scottish Accreditation Board are currently recognised for this purpose.
