Welcome to the GARC Education Platform.These free online courses will support your rabies prevention efforts. They can be studied online or downloaded to study offline. However, to receive the course certificate, the final assessment must be completed online.

The Rabies Educator Certificate (REC)

The REC course is open to everyone, but aimed specifically at people who work in at-risk communities and can address community education on rabies. These people may be health/veterinary/community workers, or key people within the communities in a position to provide others with accurate, life- saving information about rabies prevention.

The REC modules include:

What is rabies and how do people and animals get the disease

How to avoid dog bites and prevent rabies

Caring for animals

Understanding the role of a community educator in preventing dog bites and rabies

Communicating with people

This course is currently available in English, French and Spanish.

The Animal Handling and Vaccination Certificate (AVC)

The AVC course builds on the REC and is an introduction to effective and humane dog handling and vaccination. Participants need to complete the Rabies Educator Certificate before accessing this course.The AVC covers:

The role of the animal handler and vaccinator

Understanding animal behaviour;

Effective ways to approach dogs;

Equipment needed to catch and handle dogs;

Effective vaccine administration techniques.

The AVC course should be followed by physical training under the guided supervision of a professional and is also suitable for trained professionals who wish to refresh their knowledge and remain up-to-date regarding new techniques and tools on dog handling and vaccination.This course is currently available in English and French.

The Community Coordinator for Rabies Certificate (CCC)

The CCC course has been designed to provide more advanced and in-depth training for Rabies Educator Certificate (REC) graduates, enabling them to become actively involved in the protection of their community against rabies, whilst also ensuring the humane treatment of animals. While the REC focuses on community education, the CCC expands this knowledge to other elements of community welfare, helping the graduate to provide even more support to enable the community to prevent rabies.

It covers information needed for a community coordinator to become a rabies reference point for their community, and to help the community work together with rabies control programmes to ensure vaccination programmes are successful. A particular interest in rabies, community welfare and a willingness to communicate with people are the only requirements of REC graduates to be proficient in the CCC course.This course is currently available in English and French.

Rabies Healthcare Certificate (RHC)

The Rabies Healthcare Certificate (RHC) is a profession-specific course developed to teach or refresh professionals working in the human healthcare sector regarding aspects of human rabies and its prevention. This includes the management of potential rabies virus exposure cases; administration of rabies biologics; the clinical diagnosis of suspect human rabies cases and the laboratory investigation of suspect rabies cases. The course material covers the most updated guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO). It is however still important to ensure knowledge and practice of country-specific recommendations, as this is not covered in this course.

The RHC coursework has been reviewed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and found to be in-line with the latest WHO paper (2018) on all aspects related to rabies vaccination protocols.This course is currently available in English and French.
