A concrete transformation of veterinary professional training: SNGTV’s experience with Wolf Learning Consulting

 

 

JNGTV_article
SNGTV is a French professional organisation that brings together and supports veterinarians working in animal production (livestock and rural practice), with key missions including continuing education, technical expertise, and professional development. 

Context: Enhancing training practices in the demanding animal health sector

In a context where the quality of veterinary professional training has become a strategic priority, SNGTV launched a transformation plan to structure and embed professional best practices in its trainers’ activities. 

The objective of this pilot project was clear: to move from an expert but intuitive approach to a structured, efficient, and scalable training engineering framework that enhances subject-matter expertise. 

To address this challenge, SNGTV chose to rely on the expertise of Wolf Learning Consulting. 

The approach: an immersive program to transform training practices in animal health

A pilot group of 10 SNGTV trainers was supported over 7 months, through a structured program of 7 sessions, called FORM’ACTION (in French ‘Formation’ means Training, so there’s a play on words: “LEARN’IN ACTION”). 

The Wolf Learning Consulting approach is based on a comprehensive transformation, covering the entire training value chain: 

Repositioning the role of the animal health trainer: becoming a “FORM’ACTEUR” (a “LEARN’ACTOR”) 

  • Strengthen expertise by adopting a facilitator mindset 
  • Develop an impactful teaching posture 
  • Gain confidence and efficiency in both design and delivery 

Better targeting rural veterinary learners 

  • Understand field expectations and required skills 
  • Adapt content to real learner needs 

Structuring training programmes 

  • Build clear and coherent blended learning pathways (digital & in-person) 
  • Organise effective learning sequences 

Integrating training marketing 

  • Increase attractiveness upfront 
  • Enhance post-training value and outcomes 
  • Maximise real-world impact 

Mastering adult learning principles 

  • Activate the right learning levers for adult audiences 
  • Foster engagement and retention 

Delivering results-driven training 

  • Diversify facilitation methods 
  • Create interaction 
  • Measure learning outcomes and impact 

Results: visible and measurable change

The benefits were immediate and tangible: 

 Clearer and more impactful content 

 Stronger engagement from veterinary participants 

 Greater impact: more transformative training experiences 

 Renewed enjoyment in delivering training 

 

As highlighted by Claire Combelles, President of the SNGTV Goat Commission: 

« Designing a training program is now much clearer to me: I save valuable time in the preparation phase, the content is more impactful, and the outcomes are much more visible after the training. » 

This testimonial perfectly illustrates the transformation, both in terms of skills development and trainer experience.

A sustainable upskilling dynamic

Building on this initial success, SNGTV now aims to continue this momentum by supporting the pilot group in delivering training programs scheduled for late 2026 and 2027, while further developing the skills of additional trainers across its various commissions. 

This decision confirms the strategic value of the initiative and its long-term impact. 

Why this approach works?

The success of this program is built on three key differentiators: 

1. A 360° approach to training 

Pedagogy + instructional design + marketing + facilitation 

2. Transforming practices, not just tools 

This is not just about tools, it fundamentally changes how training is designed and delivered. 

3. A strong connection to real-world application 

Each trainer works on their own training programs → immediate impact.
