Pesticide training Foundation Unit PA1

In order to achieve the certificate, training is recommended. This training can be obtained via the following routes:

 If born after 31 December 1964

• Foundation      Module (PA1): Everyone must do this
• Application      Modules (PA2A, PA2F, PA3A, PA6A etc): The candidate chooses the most appropriate module for the equipment they are using

If born before 31 December 1964 (previously known as grandfather rights)

• Foundation      Module (PA1): Everyone must do this
• Application      Modules (PA2A, PA2F, PA3A, PA6A etc): The candidate chooses the most appropriate module for the equipment they are using

PLEASE NOTE: “Grandfather Rights no longer exists”, everyone using commercial pesticides must now be a holder of a certificate of competence for the equipment they are using.

This training and assessment requires you to be able to read and understand a pesticide product label and to carry out some calculations. An alternative to this training and assessment would be to get someone with a Certificate of Competence in the Safe Use of Pesticides to apply pesticide for you or have another family member trained to get the Certificate.
