Another third of all trainees attained below median grades in both examination and practical work. Given that most course participants (93%) had a strong academic background in biology or the veterinary sciences, low course performance could have been related to the inability of some trainees to fully understand the language used. Before the start of a course, trainees are requested to produce evidence of English language proficiency, at least level 7 of the International Englis
