AMTRA has prepared a new series of compulsory modules that address wormer resistance and parasite control – areas that are now enhanced for newly qualified SQPs in the farm animal exam.

The modules are broken down into different elements and consist of around four hours of course content in total. The intention is to enhance the knowledge of wormer resistance for each farm animal SQP and coincides with the reclassification of Zolvix.

Every farm animal SQP will need to complete the new modules in order to stay registered.

The CPD points for these modules are based on eight points for each hour of training undertaken. If the full four hours is completed there will be 32 points awarded. If an SQP already has the points requirement for the 2015/2017 period, the points will be awarded to the 2017/2019 points allocation.
