[darkdan99]

None.

You dont need any?

Even tho its to do with caring for animals ?

your bound to need something

[purejurrasic]

In theory, none

In practice, each council has its one rules, here in Brighton, they insist you enroll in an animal management course b4 they will issue a PSL, and you have to complete it and pass with in 2 years.

One would also suggest some kind of business studies course is a good idea as well.

You would be advised to contact the council in your area and ask details.

its different with each council when applying for psl a local concil around here says u need 2 go on a short course which can be done at anytime in the first 2 years of opening the shop. best thing 2 do is go on ur local coucils website

None at all.

Most councils ask that somone does a short course resulting in a NQV or equaly pointless bit of paper but this is not compulsary.

It is here you as PJ said you have to be enroled on a city and guilds in animal management before they will issue the psl as long as you are enroled they will consider the aplication if not then there is no point applying here.
Our council are also a bit funny when issuing the licences to shops that are close to other shops for example they wont give you a psl if a bakery is next door.
Also subject to spot checking in the first year by a qualified council vet.
