Training
Animal Worker Web-Based Training provides the initial training and occupational health review required for eligibility to participate in Princeton University’s animal research protections program.
The AALAS Learning Library (ALL) provides training for investigators, technicians, veterinarians, managers, IACUC members, and others working with animals in a research or education setting. The courses emphasize the appropriate handling, care, and use of animals and are designed to improve your knowledge in technical areas, to meet training mandates of regulatory agencies, and to help you study for AALAS certification. There are dozens of courses, including those on species-specific procedures and techniques, regulatory compliance, occupational health and safety, anesthesia and analgesia, and bioethics. This resource is offered at no cost to all faculty, students, and staff involved in animal research protections.
