Description
Who is this course for?
Our qualification is suitable for those entering work, those who have established themselves in a role and those working at technician/supervisory/management levels.
Earn a nationally-recognised qualification to use pesticides safely.
Since 2015, anyone buying a pesticide authorised for professional use must obey a key legal requirement.
The law demands that the pesticide will be used either by the holder of a relevant certificate, or by a person working under the direct supervision of someone who holds one.
That's where our qualification comes in.
It's been developed in direct response to that legal requirement for pesticide use.
