Title: Pesticide training- anyone been?
Post by: Penninehillbilly on April 16, 2017, 07:54:17 pm

Hi
Going for training for PA1 tomorrow,  wondering if anyone has been on one and could tell me what to expect.
Feeling like it's the first day of school :-).

Yes I have done it.
It is a bit like going back to school lol
Go with intention of gaining beneficial knowledge and make sure you revise for the exam! My friend had to pay 3 times for the exam himself. His company only paid for the course and first exam! That's his fault though - he didn't revise!

Oh heck, didn't realise I'd have homework to do, always in bother at school for not doing it, even then I preferred to be helping dad with the animals :-).
