Safe Use of Pesticides

Earn a nationally-recognised qualification to use pesticides safely.

Since 2015, anyone buying a pesticide authorised for professional use must obey a key legal requirement.

The law demands that the pesticide will be used either by the holder of a relevant certificate, or by a person working under the direct supervision of someone who holds one.

That's where our qualification comes in.

It's been developed in direct response to that legal requirement for pesticide use.

You'll earn a recognised qualification that reflects the national standards for the type of role you perform.

The finer details

Our qualification is available for learners aged 16+.

You'll develop knowledge, understanding and skills in the safe use and application of pesticides.

It's designed with those for those both new to the job and who have already established themselves in a pesticide-based role.

This qualification will provide you with the mandatory unit - Principles of the Safe Use and Application of Pesticides - needed before doing any of our other pesticide qualifications.
