B-PAP.2 - Production Animal Practice and B-CKS.0

B-PAP.2 - Production Animal Practice and B-CKS.0

The Production Animal Practice module covers the principles of practice with any or all production animals – cattle (both dairy and beef), sheep, pigs and poultry. It may be taken in the context of just one species, as the general principles of production animal practice are deemed to be relevant to all. It is relevant to a number of species and discipline based designated modular certificates, including veterinary public health, animal welfare and reproduction. It can also be taken as a stand alone module, in conjunction with the B-CKS.0 module.

The B-Production Animal Practice module is required for all candidates who are aiming to achieve a production animal 'designated' certificate. It may also be taken in conjunction with other B modules for those who work in mixed practice.

Enrolling for assessment in the R(D)SVS will give you access to an online support environment to assist you in achieving your assessment. This online environment includes the following:

  • Contact with other CertAVP (PAP) participants, both cattle and sheep
  • An online portfolio with case templates and other resources
  • An electronic learning diary to record your evidence, cases and experience
  • Reading lists, sample learning diaries and other appropriate support materials

The next induction date is listed on the Production Animal Practice homepage.

If you wish to register or have any specific enquiries about CertAVP modules or designated certificates, please contact the CertAVP Administrator, Irene Harris, by email or by phone on +44 (0)131 650 6149.

Contact hours are 9.30-12.45, Monday to Friday.
