Recommendations for accreditation of laboratory animal science education and training

This document encompasses all categories of FELASA competence (A-D) as defined by FELASA. Only programmes leading to full development in competence in categories A1, A2, A3, A4, B, C and/ or D will be considered for accreditation. In addition, all future FELASA education and training guidelines will comply with this accreditation system. Accreditation may also be considered for programmes already recognised by other well-established non-European bodies in laboratory animal science, on the basis that the FELASA Accreditation Board considers that such programmes will lead to the development of comparable competencies.
