Plan your pest control training, development and CPD for 2020

Whether you’re with BPCA Registered or Basis, CPD is an essential part of your year. How about taking some time at the start of 2020 to plan it out? BPCA has developed a training and development template to help members. 

What will you learn this year British Pest Control Association-2

You need to record 20 CPD points over 12 months. Why not schedule one day a month to do some CPD? As long as you aim to get 1-2 points each time, you will be hitting the target by the end of the year.

It really is that simple! Reading magazines, talking to the BPCA technical team, doing online quizzes, learning something from your colleague, watching webinars and attending training events or exhibitions such as PPC Live in March will all help you achieve the standard and remain up-to-date.

And if you're on BPCA Registered, don't forget to record your unstructured CPD points!
