Our Level 6 Diploma continues on from Level 5 and upon successful completion you will gain a full IAT HE Diploma. The highest level of our Diplomas covers more detailed learning units in pain and distress in laboratory animals, as well as the use of genetically altered mice for phenotyping. The student also has the opportunity to sign up for units in subjects such as establishing a culture of care, influencing people with integrity, and managing and developing teams. There is also a Project unit where you are given the opportunity to develop your own research project with the guidance of our expert tutors.
Students that have completed the full IAT HE Diploma, which must include the Experimental Design for in vivo Research course, are eligible for IAT Fellowship
