Training in Ethology and Animal Welfare

Our training courses are intended for professionals working in zoos and laboratories.

Species knowledge and animal welfare (assessment methods, applications, enrichment programmes, ethology, training, enclosure design, etc.) are at the heart of our training sessions. These courses can be delivered intra-company or inter-company, at your establishment (zoo, laboratory, educational farm), or at our offices in Nantes (France). Our team of trainers is available to tailor the training to your specific needs.

AKONGO, Qualiopi Certified under the 'Training Action' Category

« Qualiopi » is the quality certification for training providers. It complies with the law of 5th September 2018 on the freedom to choose one's professional future, which mandates certification according to a single national reference framework. The Qualiopi mark is based on an analysis of the processes and resources implemented. The recognition of the professionalism of the training organisation relies on seven objective certification criteria:

Qualiopi
  • Information conditions for the trained public
  • Precise identification of the objectives of the services
  • Adaptation to the beneficiary audiences
  • Adequacy of educational resources
  • Qualification and development of the knowledge and skills of the staff
  • Engagement and investment of the provider in its professional environment
  • Collection and consideration of comments and complaints from stakeholders regarding the services provided

AKONGO was audited by AFNOR for the 'training actions' category. We are pleased to have been awarded QUALIOPI certification in December 2020. This certification is valid for 4 years.

Each session is customised based on the participants and aims to be accessible to all.
Putting Learners at the Centre
The course includes theoretical lessons, as well as practical workshops, feedback sessions, and an assessment of acquired skills.
