Buzz along to the Midlands BPCA pest management Forum in 2020. Packed with industry news, technical sessions, guest speakers and CPD opportunities, this Forum is not to be missed! The day is sponsored by Killgerm.
The UK Government has advised against all unnecessary gatherings to help stop the spread of Covid 19. BPCA has taken the decision to postpone all events, training and exams. It’s our first priority to keep everyone safe, including our visitors and staff. We’ll be rescheduling Forums when we’re advised by the UK Government it is safe to do so.
BPCA technical and business support is still available to all BPCA members. Members are encouraged to contact our team for support if they need it.
If you’re worried about recording CPD points, take a look at our free webinars and our CPD quizzes, which can be taken online. Alternatively, if you’re on BPCA Registered, you can record unstructured CPD points for activities like reading article, watching videos, personal research and technical discussions over the phone.
The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) hosts these free events so everyone interested in pest management can learn, share and connect.
