Courses

Animal Evac New Zealand can deliver a range of courses for corporate clients. Those wishing to volunteer for Animal Evac New Zealand should refer to our join us page.

As the responsibility for directing companion animal emergency management under civil defence arrangements sits with local authorities through their animal management service, Animal Evac New Zealand can provide courses for local government staff and organisations that support such mandate.

Foundation Course

The Animal Evac New Zealand Foundation Course is a 9 hour workshop aimed at anyone involved in helping animals in emergencies. It is NZVNA accredited for 5.5 CPD points. Generally, the AENZ Foundation, Sheltering and Dog Bite Prevention courses are combined into a two day (weekend) workshop to ensure new members meet minimal operational training requirements.
