    Transport of Animals by Road (Short Journey)

    Who is this course for?

    Legislation, which came into force in 2007, has rules covering the movement of animals. This affects those who move animals as part of farm business activities. It requires anyone transporting animals over 65km for up to 8 hours to have an accredited qualification endorsed for the relevant species being transported.
