About this course
The carriage of live animals by sea is governed by a strict framework of welfare standards, contingency planning and documentation — and the UKLAP Grade 1 examination tests that framework directly.
This guidance programme covers the full syllabus: the legal basis, the vessel and voyage planning requirements, welfare during carriage, and the reporting duties that follow. Each module is paired with the documents you will actually use, so revision happens in context.
Candidates preparing for their first live-animal voyage will also find voyage-day checklists drawn from real operations.
Who it’s for
Masters and officers on vessels engaged in the carriage of live animals who require UKLAP certification.
What you’ll be able to do
- Navigate the UKLAP syllabus with a clear revision map
- Complete the documentary requirements without omissions
- Answer examination questions with precise references
- Plan a live-animal voyage to welfare and legal standard

Testimonials
Candidates who sat UKLAP
“The meteorology module changed how I brief my own watch. I can actually read a chart now instead of just quoting the forecast, and it showed in the oral.”
