Home Office Courses
Before anyone can obtain a Personal or Project Licence from the Home Office, there is mandatory theoretical and practical training to complete. Our accredited courses follow the modular syllabus set out by the Home Office. Currently, all Home Office courses are delivered online.
Experienced scientists from Europe, with felasa accredited training, may be able to gain exemption from some of the modules, but this should be discussed with the Training Centre before applying for a course ubstraining@admin.cam.ac.uk. Due to the online delivery, it may be possible to complete the theoretical training before arriving in the UK.
For those individuals who are not intending to do any regulated procedures but will need to perform Schedule 1 methods, there is also mandatory training. The Function D course covers the syllabus set by the Home Office for this role.
