Course Information for Students

This course will recognise the skills of those who need to supervise and implement animal health management plans.

You will need to have previously completed a Level 2 Certificate of Competence in the Safe and Responsible Use of Veterinary Medicines (NPTC 0141-21).

Building on the Level 2 qualification, this course will involve the preparation and implementation of an animal health management plan covering the planning, control and risk assessment of the tasks undertaken.
 

Learning will be both theory and practical-based, delivered on-site at Broomfield Hall.

You will be required to supply your own:

  • Boots/wellingtons
  • Non-snag clothing
  • Writing materials
  • Lunch (there will be facilities available on-site if you wish to purchase your lunch here)

The assessment will be divided into two compulsory outcomes: 

1. Plan the Safe Use and Storage of Veterinary Medicines 

2. Principles of the Animal Health Management Plan

The candidate must bring a prepared animal health management plan to the assessment which will form part of a practical test.

DCG offers a range of one-day, weekend and evening courses relating to Agriculture and a wide variety of other land-based topics – please see the DCG Part-time Prospectus for a full list and details.
