Animal Rescue Training Level 3 CPD

Our specialist animal rescue training is for those who work with or are likely to come in to contact with large animals. This includes emergency responders, livestock transporters, large animal vets and nurses, stable management and staff, racecourses, agricultural colleges and zoos.

Our highly acclaimed animal rescue team members regularly carry out large and small animal rescues, have a strong international profile and are widely regarded as experts in this field.

The team also provides training at veterinary universities throughout the country and run courses for equine owners, RSPCA Inspectors, plus UK and European fire and rescue services. Our trainers have designed and developed industry standards for rescue in collaboration with members of the CFOA Animal Rescue Practioners Forum in order to provide a robust, joined up approach to incidents involving animals. 3SFire are proud to provide the ongoing animal rescue training on behalf of Babcock to the London Fire Brigade.

Our training can be provided either at the HIWFRS Animal Rescue Centre at Lyndhurst Fire Station, based in the New Forest, or at a location convenient for the trainees throughout the UK.
