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
The corresponding online examination for the certificate confirming acquisition of the knowledge required according to Annex 1 Section 3 TierSchVersV (persons who conduct animal experiments) consists of topics from course 01 - general part and, where applicable, content on other species. (please refer also to "My las campus")
Participation in Course 01.10 together with Course 01 - general part and, where applicable, further courses takes place in the context of extensive training in animal experiments, including a practical part at the relevant institution and, as a rule, is only open to participants whose institute / institution / course organizer has entered into a corresponding framework agreement with LAS interactive.

C 03 - C 06: general
General content on the biology, husbandry, stress and humane killing of (laboratory) animals.DE | EN | FR
The study material for "C 03 - C 06: general" is the basis 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.
The learning unit brings together the basic content of EU core modules C 03 - C 06 into a single unit that can be tested. 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.
Cost: 140,00 €
The learning unit alone is not sufficient for the qualification according to Annex 1 No. 3 TierSchVersV ("EU Function A": people who conduct animal experiments)
