POULTRY TRAINING GRANTS
A series of poultry training courses, which is supported by substantial grants, is now being run in your area by MVP Training, part of the Minster Veterinary Practice Ltd.
Grant funding through Lantra Landskills means that veterinary course modules
which would normally cost £150 per delegate are now available for as little as £35 to £45, depending on which Regional Development Agency covers the area where your employees are based. These courses will help producers gain and then maintain important accreditations, including:
- Lion Code (eggs)
- RSPCA Freedom Foods (eggs/broilers/ducks)
- Assured Chicken Production
- Quality British Turkey assurance
- Poultry passport: approval is dueimminently on MVP courses being Poultry Passport approved. This means any producer attending a course can enter it on his Poultry Passport to show on-going training.
All MVP courses are Lantra Awards approved.
The MVP courses are designed for all levels and can accommodate a wide range of skill sets – from new entrants through to farm workers and managers.
Courses also complement an employee’sexisting NVQ programme – meeting NVQ
requirements for secondary training in areas such as biosecurity, and poultry
health and welfare. MVP training can also provide the background knowledge
required to begin an NVQ programme. If you are finding it difficult to fund an NVQ course, the MVP courses represent a very cost effective and less timeconsuming
alternative in its own right. The courses will play a major role in helping to reduce disease and increase productivity, performance and profitability on the farm. As the sole provider of these courses, MVP Training can offer training at the most suitable venue to meet your needs – either at your own premises or at a convenient alternative venue.
