with bath you have to enrole on an animal husbandry course/pet shop management before they issue the license and complete it in 2 years... but only one person in the shop needs to do this... you also need to be vet checked before you open with no animals in the shop (bit stupid as they won't see what animals are going in what tanks).
There is a way of getting around that though... if you take over a shop as they would have already had the course done and checked then you dont need do it.

In my council you have to have the pet shop management course. When you apply for the pet shop license you must have completed the course or be training for it and complete it within two years of applying for the pet shop license. If you do not have this qualification or you are not training they will not grant you the license therefore you cannot have a pet shop

Most councils are now requiring the pet store management course.
It's not like there are an abundance of reptile qualifications that are recognised out there that people can do anyway

I asked the council myself and NO COURSES are needed in my local area, but they are reccomended.
No council can legally refuse an application because of a lack of qualifications. In the same way you could protest DWA prices etc, but i dont know how sucsessful it would be. Dan PS I DIDNT START THIS THREAD, AS IT IS SHOWING, NOT SURE WHATS HAPPENED??
