ETPLAS is an information portal to enable information sharing and communication between training providers, approval/accrediting bodies, employers and Member-State authorities. It is composed of a Stakeholders’ Board, an Executive Committee, and a Stakeholder Group.
ETPLAS is the result of principles within the EU Education and Training Framework guidance document which proposed a modular training framework.
The aims of ETPLAS are:
- to be a forum for exchanging information on LAS education and training for all stakeholders
- to give training providers the necessary information to establish E & T courses
- to give the user community information on available E & T courses
- to provide authorities and employers with the necessary information to facilitate the process of mutual recognition of education & training to promote free movement of personnel involved in Laboratory Animal Science.
The ETPLAS website includes:
- EU modules for Education and Training in Laboratory Animal Science and Alternatives to Animal Use
- Advice on DOPS (Directly Observed Practical Skills) and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)
- Information about existing accrediting bodies and quality assurance
- Information on harmonisation and mutual recognition of courses
- Recommendations about continuing professional development
- A Glossary
