Pesticide training
To take part in a Feral Fighters campaign, you must be accredited in the use of pesticides (or under the direct supervision of an accredited person) with an AQF3 Chemical Accreditation or Vertebrate Pesticide Induction Training (VPIT) course accreditation. Training in the use of vertebrate pesticides helps to ensure you remain compliant with legislation and use pesticides safely and effectively.
Our online Vertebrate Pesticide Induction Training can be completed at any time, at no cost and upon successful completion, you will hold a five-year accreditation to possess and use 1080, Pindone, RHDV and or PAPP baits.
South East Local Land Services also runs a number of face-to-face VPIT sessions throughout the year. For more details on these sessions head to our events page and select the South East region.
Training - expression of interest
If you are interested in having vertebrate pest induction training run in your area, please let us know via our expression of interest form.
Flag your interest in vertebrate pest induction training in your local area.
