Join BPCA's Qualifications Framework working groups

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

BPCA is looking for volunteers to join two working groups, to help develop new qualifications for the future framework. 

bpca-qualifications-framework-working-groups

It’s well documented that BPCA is working on the strategic development of a new qualification framework for the industry.

We have already put together a Qualification Development Working Group, supported by NPTA and RSPH, which includes representatives of member servicing organisations, regulatory bodies, manufacturers and distributor companies and training providers. 

That group will work on the development of a new Level 3 Certificate in Pest Management qualification.

Alongside this, we have formed two sub-groups, who will work on two stand-alone qualifications for those working as specialists within the sector.

We are now looking for representatives of organisations that are passionate about driving standards within these areas:

Bird Management
This sub-group will work on the development of a Level 3 Bird Management qualification, which will include a robust syllabus and assessment plan. 

Wildlife Management
This sub-group will work on the development of a syllabus and assessment plan to support a Level 3 Wildlife Management qualification.

Each sub-group will meet bi-monthly on Teams or Zoom for a period no greater than two hours.

If you have expertise in either of these areas and would like the opportunity to influence the structure of future qualifications please contact us at training@bpca.org.uk
