As of November 1, 2021, all new applicants must complete the Qualifying Education (QE) course. This self-paced, online course is designed to provide new licensees with an overview of the information needed to operate a PACFA facility successfully. 

 

The applicant will be enrolled in the course after the application is submitted and reviewed by PACFA staff. The training must be completed before a pre-license inspection will be scheduled.

 

Topics include:

  • Overview of the PACFA program
  • Rules and regulations
  • Cleaning, sanitation, veterinary care, and animal care
  • Importation and transportation

 

New applicants for a PACFA license are required to take the QE course including, but not limited to:

  • New Primary Business Contacts

 

The QE course was developed in partnership with subject matter experts from the PACFA-licensed community. 

 

This course is free for any licensee and their employees.
