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?

• Monthly live webinars
• Digital Forums with guest speakers (local Forums will be back, post-Covid restrictions)
• Videos from past events, including PestExtra
• Articles and news via PPC Online
• CPD quizzes
• Pest management Codes of Best Practice.

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:

• Essential customer service skills for pest professionals
• Understanding pests in food businesses
• A complete approach to wasp and hornet control
• What's on the horizon after glue boards?
• Bird control lasers explained
• Inspections and pest activity: what to look for.

Watch ONLINE events you may have missed

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!
