Course Overview

All personal licence applicants must successfully complete L and E1, and PIL A. PIL A courses are species specific and PIL B is anaesthesia for minor procedures (non-invasive, less than 15 minutes). Those planning to undertake invasive surgery must also successfully complete PIL C.

Module K is humane killing of animals. Some people choose to study this with legislation and ethics only, but if you are studying PIL A, this is included (Module 6.1).

To meet the requirements of the accrediting bodies and the Home Office, all delegates have access to our E-learning site for seven days of pre-reading prior to attendance. In addition, we give three months after the course to allow time to read, download or bookmark resources that will help a new licensee.

Depending on the establishment you are employed by or studying with, you will also have access to a local module. This provides information about health screening, important people to know and other information specific to that establishment.

Each training course consists of a series of modules, as follows:

L and E1

• Module 1: National Legislation
• Module 2: Ethics, animal welfare and the Three Rs

PIL A

• Module 3.1: Basic and appropriate biology – species specific (theory)
• Module 4: Animal care, health and management – species specific (theory)
• Module 5: Recognition of pain, suffering and distress – species specific
• Module 6.1: Humane methods of killing (theory)
• Module 7: Minimally invasive procedures without anaesthesia – species specific (theory)

Using TLC DOPS, you will be trained and assessed locally (e.g. by your NTCO/NACWO or other suitable person) for Module 3.2: Basic and Appropriate Biology – species specific (skills) and Module 8: Minimally invasive procedures without anaesthesia – species specific (skills)

PIL B

• Module 20: Anaesthesia for minor procedures (NB: anaesthesia less than 15 minutes – minor procedures only)

PIL C

• Module 21: Advanced anaesthesia for surgical or prolonged procedures
• Module 22: Principles of surgery

Using TLC DOPS, you will be trained and assessed locally (e.g. by your NTCO/NVS or other suitable person) for the skills aspects of Modules 21 and 22.

Species:

The Learning Curve regularly provide PIL AB training for people who will be using mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. We also provide PIL AB training for licensees wishing to use other species including chickens, dogs, goats, hamsters, minipigs and old world primates. Providing you have achieved the learning outcomes for L/E1 with any of these species, you will be able to apply for a personal licence.
