NEW!

Our PA6 courses now include PA6AW module Spraying in or near water.

We register our PA6 courses with both NRoSO and BASIS as many of our customers supply supermarkets and membership of these organisations is often a supplier or assurance scheme requirement.  Members of NRoSO and / or BASIS are required to collect 30 CPD points to maintain their 3-year membership conditions.  To date our PA6 courses have been awarded 12 CPD points by both organisations.

Our PA6 course is suitable for candidates who hold their City & Guilds NPTC PA1 qualification and wish to use a knapsack or similar hand held applicator to apply pesticides.  Candidates will be required to read a pesticide label and use a calculator during their PA6 assessment.
