Level 2 Award in the Safe Use of Pesticides PA1/PA6A

Course overview

PA1 is the foundation module that you will complete on day one of this course. This module is necessary for anyone involved with pesticide use.

You will be tested on PA1 on the second day of training in the morning via an online test which lasts one hour. PA1 is the mandatory unit you must pass before being allowed on your practical assessment.
