Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to work as an equine dental service provider. It covers the legal requirements and ethical principles and responsibilities and an overview of industry best practice techniques and procedures used in evidenced based equine dentistry. The unit applies to individuals who work in equine allied health provider fields providing equine dental treatment and other services across various equine industry sectors. Legislative and regulatory requirements, including work health and safety and animal welfare, apply to the scope of work of equine dental service providers, and vary according to state/territory jurisdictions. Users must check with the relevant regulatory authority before delivery. NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) generally have the same meaning in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the national model WHS legislation has not been implemented, RTOs must contextualise the unit of competency by referring to current OHS legislative requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
