Where there are insufficent numbers to run a course, candidates will be offered the next available date.

Anyone undertaking a PA6 qualification after January 2015 will need to complete this unit if they wish to use plastic plugs – on their own property or for business

*NB:  You must already possess the PA1 (Safe Use of Pesticides) qualification before you attempt this unit. To sign up for our PA1 (online) training course click here, and to book your online PA1 assessment click here.

** Practical Assessments (exam) must be done face to face and are held on a separate day – by arrangement. Subject to availability, the assessor will visit you to conduct the assessment. It is a legal requirement to pass this test before you can apply pesticides, training alone is not sufficient

We also offer online & face to face training in other units, such as: PA6AW (knapsack application), PA6INJ (stem injector) please contact us for more information.
