What You Will Study
This course aims to provide the knowledge and skills to effectively handle, apply, and store pesticides using mounted/trailer granular applicators. Pesticides are widely used in agriculture and horticulture, but they can be potentially harmful substances, so a thorough appreciation of safe working practices is vital.
This is a hands-on course that includes both theory and practical elements which supply sufficient training to comply with pesticide regulations.
This course is delivered over one day with an additional assessment time, organised by the awarding body NPTC.
