LAS campus
Online training
At las campus, you can pursue online courses and modules to acquire or brush up theoretical qualifications for working with laboratory animals.
Our courses are designed for teaching/acquiring the knowledge required for animal experiment work according to EU recommendations and, in Germany, according to the ordinance on protection of laboratory animals (TierSchVersV). A course thus consists of several parts: a general part (Course 01 - general part) and relevant species-specific content (Courses 01.1 and following courses). The composition of the course may be adapted to country-specific requirements. The main focus at present is on the training required in Germany for people who conduct or plan and design animal experiments (TierSchVersV Annex 1 Section 3).
Against this background, “courses” are only open to participants whose institute/facility/course organizer have concluded a framework agreement with LAS interactive and then guarantees/provides practical training for participants.
Information on participation in the course
"Course 01 – general part" is only open to participants whose institute / facility / course organizer has concluded a corresponding framework agreement with LAS interactive (vtk online). You can view the relevant framework conditions in your user profile under “My LAS interactive”.
"Course 01 – general part" can/must be combined with a species-specific part (Course 01.1 and following courses).
The exam for proof of knowledge according to Annex 1 Section 3 TierSchVersV (people who collaborate on animal experiments) essentially consists of the content in Course 01 - general part and, where applicable, content on further species.
Participation in "Course 01 - general part" forms part of a comprehensive curriculum of training in animal experiment work, including a practical part at the relevant target institution.
