We provide resources for all stakeholders in laboratory animal science education, particularly course organizers and educators, learners, accrediting bodies, and Competent Authorities. 

Course organizers can find e-learning modules to integrate in their teaching, feature their course in our searchable European course directory, and find extensive information on LAS E&T, including on assessment of both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. ETPLAS also provides an exam platform to course organizers to test knowledge on functions (a) and (b) of the E&T Framework.

Learners can use our e-learning modules for their continuing professional development, and refresh their knowledge on several key aspects of laboratory animal science. Dedicated modules for specific roles, such as Designated Veterinarians, Competence Assessors and Inspectors are also available.

Course Accreditors can find guidance on mutual recognition and harmonization of courses, as well as assessable learning outcomes for  core modules and function (a), as well as function (b).

ETPLAS aims to facilitate the process of mutual recognition of education & training in Laboratory Animal Science (LAS); provide a forum for exchanging information on LAS education and training; provide stakeholders with the necessary information to establish training courses; conduct related tasks which might further the above aims; contribute to facilitating free movement of personnel involved in LAS
