Parasitology Courses
Introductory, Advanced Refresher and On-line Courses
Join the hundreds of alpaca and llama keepers/breeders who have attended the Introduction to Parasitology Course and can now effectively collect and analyse samples, quickly, on their own farms.
What’s special about these Courses
As a graduate Science teacher, Sue is passionate about successful outcomes in the laboratory. Many people are put off science from an early age, not because they can’t do it but because the learning wan’t tailored to their needs.
Laboratory skills
When you come to the lab for a Face-to-Face Course we spend the morning learning some basics, the fundamentals of parasites, lab techniques and learning about the microscope. You bring along six faecal samples from your herd and you analyse those with Sue. A computer is linked to your microscope so that we see everything together. Everything precise, everything explained. So when you return home, you have some real life data.
Introduction to Parasitology On-line
Take the Course at your leisure from your own home. Lots of short videos, all narrated by Sue, explaining all of the fundamentals and golden rules of testing. PDF downloads of shopping lists, recipes for solutions you’ll need, how to choose a microscope and much more.
