The C 01 module covers national animal welfare legislation for Germany (EU Core Module 01). Topics include an introduction to EU animal welfare legislation, the German Animal Welfare Act and the associated rules of procedure, as well other areas of law.

Price: 80,00 €

Module C 02 presents the basic discussion topics on the problem area of animal experiments and the concept of the 3Rs coined by Russell and Burch. A focus of this module is on the web links and information material concerning alternative and supplementary methods.

This module complex summarizes relevant content on law (core module C 01) and ethics in animal experiments with introductory aspects of planning and design of animal experiment procedures (components from function-specific modules F 09 – F 11) for a unit that is capable of being tested.

It brings together content that stands apart from the actual work with the animal setting out the framework conditions for animal experiment work and laying the foundations for persons who plan and conduct animal experiments.
It covers topics such as the German Animal Welfare Act and the associated rules of procedure, as well other areas of law, ethics of animal experiments in more depth, subject areas of the 3Rs, database search and planning of the research project, including calculation of the number of animals needed.

Price: € 140.00

Module C 03 - C 06: General is mandatory for the species-specific modules C 03 - C 06: Species. After successful completion of the first course of training on the general content and one species or species group, you may go on to broaden your knowledge by covering further species. In this case it is not necessary to repeat the general content, but only the species-specific content on the new species.

This module brings together the general content of the core EU modules C 03 - C 06 into a single examinable unit. It teaches the basics for working with laboratory animals and covers topics such as housing systems, hygiene measures, breeding management, nutrition, assessments of stress on animals and the requirements of humane killing.
