Pesticide Application (Modules PA2-12)

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 courses come in. It's been developed in direct response to that legal requirement for pesticide use. You'll earn a recognised qualification that reflects the national standards for the type of role you perform.

Our qualification is available for learners aged 16+.

You'll gain enhanced knowledge, skills and an understanding in the safe use and application of pesticides using the applicable equipment. It's suitable for anyone new to the job. It's also perfect for people who have already established themselves in a pesticide-based role, or anyone working at technician/supervisory/management levels.
