This course aims to respond to the training requirements defined by the legislation for the use of animals in research (EU Directive 63/2010, RD 53/2013 and ECC/566/2015). This legislation defines, among others, two functions for which prior training is required and that are relevant to perform a doctorate in an area that requires the use of animal models: a) carrying out procedures on animals and b) designing procedures and projects. In addition, the course covers the requirements necessary for the functions of animal care and euthanasia.
The syllabus of this course is the same as the course that in a classroom form has been offered by the UAB since the year 1998. However, the increasing mobility of scientists makes necessary to offer a course in English. In addition, the development of the theoretical content in an on-line version will also facilitate to organize more flexible editions of the course and a better adaptation to the needs of the training of scientists before they start their job.
This course will be inside the accreditation of FELASA already existing for the classroom form of the course (FELASA 002/03F). This accreditation, while ensuring quality standards, facilitates the recognition of these capacities in the countries of the European Union.
The course includes the attendance to laboratory for hands on training.

- Care, health care and handling of animals
- Animal welfare
