Pesticides Courses

Vermin Control

We offer three vermin control courses: rat and mouse control, mole control and rabbit control.

The courses are intended to give trainees a full working knowledge of both preventative and curative methods.

Each course combines training and assessment. Assessments will be on a continuous basis and are “work-based”. Trainees who pass the assessment are awarded with a certificate of basic training and a skills identity card.

 

Pest Control in Grain Stores

This is a course designed for farmers, farm managers and staff involved in the storage and transport of grain.

Legislation requires that people using pesticides must have received adequate instruction, and in certain circumstances must undergo assessment and acquire a certificate of competence.

These courses are designed to comply with all legislative and code of practice requirements, and specify the knowledge and skills required of a competent operator.

They prepare trainees for taking the certificate of competence tests administered by the National Proficiency Tests Council (NPTC) and the Scottish Skills Testing Service (SSTS).

We may be able to arrange the NPTC/SSTS assessment for trainees.
