CPD | PPC104 August 2021
Pest professionals love learning and sharing knowledge. Yet some of us still end up cramming in our CPD hours towards the end of the year leading to the value of professional development being somewhat diminished due to this lack of planning.
BPCA has an array of CPD activities. Are you making the most of them all?
The number of free, online events held has increased during the pandemic and the best part about holding these digitally is that we can record them, so you can watch them on-demand.
New content:
BPCA webinars and Forums are available to watch back for free on our website. Plus, now we have loads of PestExtra sessions for you to catch up on.
We take requests for topics too, so if you have any subjects you’d like to see covered in 2022, let us know!
