4-day course
Embryonics’ Professional Foot Trimming course is NACFT recognised and LANTRA approved. It is highly sought after within the farming and veterinary industries alike.
This is a 4-day course suitable for those new to trimming and the more experienced alike. It’s a healthy mix of theory and practical which is the premier route to becoming a Fully Licensed Foot Trimmer using the 5-Step Dutch Method. The Dutch Diploma is the most successful tried and tested method of trimming to-date. Reduction in lameness incidence within the herd has been attributed to the performance of the 5-step.
