CPD Courses

About our CPD courses

Our CPD courses are a great way for you to gain the skills required to excel in the field of animal research, without committing to a full IAT HE Diploma. Designed for a range of professionals working in animal research facilities, our courses are suitable for animal technologists, researchers, veterinary professionals and other animal facility staff members. We strive to train laboratory professionals to the highest standards and work closely with many large employers of laboratory staff including the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and King’s College London. 

​Once completed you will be awarded an IAT CPD Certificate specific to the unit you have studied. These certificates can be used at any time to contribute towards a full IAT HE Diploma, without having to repeat the unit.

Online, Face-to-Face, or Hybrid?

The rise of webinars and video call platforms such as Zoom has made it so much easier for so many to access training. Many of our courses take advantage of these options to provide you with the opportunity to develop new skills and gain knowledge from the comfort of your own home or office. But we also know from student feedback that there’s still a lot of value to face-to-face learning, beyond the teaching of technical skills. Our educational delivery combines these approaches with a mix of online, face-to-face, and hybrid courses and we’d love to meet you, so why not enrol on one of our face-to-face or hybrid courses today!
