This module may be delivered in a classroom equipped with necessary animal
handling facilities, using a combination of lecture and practical activities.

Delivery will be off-the-job and may include face-to-face methods, self-paced
or student-centred learning. Skills practice may take place on-the-job and may
be assessed by independent assessors and employers.

rabbits. Emphasis should be weighted toward refining the practical skills
gained in Rodent and Rabbit Care.
