We are excited to announce that we are rolling out the Continuing Education (CE) program!
Pursuant to 8 CCR 1202-15 Part 2 Application for Licensure and Conditions for Licensure, Rule 2.5.3, A pet animal facility licensed prior to October 30, 2021, is required to take the qualifying education course to satisfy the continuing education requirement in Part 2.5.2 by a date prescribed by the Commissioner, but no later than December 31, 2024.
This education course was designed to create a baseline for all PACFA licensed facilities to help educate you and your staff to have a better understanding of all the rules and regulations, standards required for the physical facility, cleaning and sanitation standards, enclosure requirements, and standards, animal and veterinary care, recordkeeping, transportation, and import requirements, and to increase compliance with the rules and regulations.
The Primary Business Contact is considered the license holder or the licensee and the person responsible for the PACFA license and taking the CE course. If you have already taken the course, you will not have to take it again.
We have a large list of licensees and will split up enrollments into smaller groups. You will receive an email from our Licensing & Education Unit Administrator, Michele Barton, notifying you when you will be enrolled and providing you with further instructions.
