The next modules will continue the plan of holding the school in different locations to improve accessibility for all students. The Broiler School will take place between 16th and 22nd of February in Edinburgh, Scotland, while the Hatchery School will be held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from 15th March 2014 to 21st March.

Nick Spenceley, Course Director, said: “The EMEA School has proven to be very popular and a great success. We have had students coming back to repeat modules or sign up for other areas of the course as they have found it so interesting and helpful to their work.

“We’ve continued to develop and adapt the course content based on feedback from previous groups and we are confident that the quality of the course is unsurpassed in the market.”

Key topics will include data handling and good flock health as part of the broiler module while maximising chick quality and egg handling will be just two of the areas covered by the hatchery team.
