Update for BPCA's Using Rodenticides Safely online course

TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS

Following an update implemented in conjunction with the Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use UK (CRRU), training providers offering courses approved for the purchase and use of professional grade rodenticides are required to have the certification of training regulated by Ofqual.

From a BPCA perspective, this means that we had to move away from our previous assessment partnership with Basis and begin a new relationship with an Ofqual regulated awarding organisation.

Our Using Rodenticides Safely training course is now aligned with the syllabus of Lantra’s Level 2 Award in Rodent Management

Moving to Ofqual regulated qualifications means that the process of assessments is more rigorous. All online examinations for CRRU-approved courses now need to be remotely invigilated, ensuring that the credibility of the assessment process is maintained. 

This means that changes in the method of enrolling and preparing to sit the assessment have also changed.

Once you have completed the online learning for Using Rodenticides Safely you will now have to enrol for your assessment. You will then need to take your online assessment within 72 hours of receiving confirmation of the date and time. 

Full instructions on the equipment required and processes you need to follow before taking your assessment are sent to you at the time of booking your training.
