LLL Portfolio

The portfolio* consists of two parts. A portfolio of competence and a portfolio of knowledgeable.

The portfolio of competence is important if you perform actions on animals. It is checked during the approval of a work protocol. The portfolio of knowledgeable is important for anyone registered as competent and is used to renew the registration of competence.
