The NPTC Safe Use of Sheep Dips training and assessments are organised by UTASS annually, working together with Flock Health Ltd and have previously been sponsored by Bimeda.
If you need to buy or use sheep dip products, then under the Medicines (Exemptions for Merchants in Veterinary Drugs) Order 1998 you will need to hold this qualification.
Training covers preparing to dip sheep by demonstrating understanding and knowledge of legislative, welfare and environmental requirements, protective clothing, record keeping, control of external parasites, sheep diseases and dip disposal. An optional unit on practical dipping will put this knowledge in to practice.
