About
Tier 1 Applied Animal Behavior Analysis in Vivariums introduces the foundations of Behavioral Analysis through this 12 week interactive live course with expert instructors. Participants will engage in small discussion groups and a competency exam to earn credentials as a Certified Vivarium Behavior Analysis Technician (cVBAT) and enhance abilities to refine housing, husbandry, animal training, cooperative health care, and data collection in the vivarium, whether that is in a zoo, sanctuary, laboratory, or farm setting. This coursework will assist care staff in bringing joy and agency to the animals cared for each day. Participants must be an employee of a purchasing institution and complete the competency exam in the tier level certification purchased by end of course. Annual renewal of certification is required to maintain long term.
