Description
This is a free online course that is self-guided and can be taken at any time. Learners are expected to have degree level qualification in the fields of animal health, ecology or welfare, or work experience to an equivalent level. A veterinary degree is not required. Learners with the role of developing policy related to DPM may find the ‘DPM for policy makers’ course more appropriate.
The course outlines the structure and process for designing an effective and sustainable DPM system, guidelines for DPM monitoring and evaluation, as well as decision-making scenarios and a toolkit of methods that support an ongoing cycle of adaptation of DPM interventions and the system as a whole. Cross-cutting themes emphasise the important role of human behaviour and the need for policy at all levels to support local DPM design and implementation.
To pass the course and achieve a certificate, you must achieve a score of at least 80% in the final assessment (correctly answer 12 of 14 questions, you are given unlimited opportunities to retake).
