Deker 3,453 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Ok, as many of you know I am a shooter primarily, but even us old boys can learn, I thought it was about time, so a couple of months back I did the BPCA exams and whilst I was confident about the Rodents and Legislation I had serious reservations about the insect malarky...(well, I don't often have to shoot them)....anyway...got the results today and f*** me ...I managed to pass every module....!!!

Whatever..I have passed Level 2! Don't ask...I really don't know why!!! Deker As I have posted elsewhere, congratulations! I knew you could do it.... Just to clarify, you have passed the RSPH level 2 certificate in pest control (RSPH= Royal Society for the Promotion of Health), which is produced and examined by the RSPH (they are the examining board). This qualification replaced the old BPCA Part 1 (a relatively simple multiple choice exam) and the old RSH. What used to be known as the BPCA part 2 is now known as the 'BPCA Advanced Technician Certificate'. Congrats to all who passed anyway.... Quote Link to post

mackem 23,852 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Is it distance learning?Or do we actually have to attend a college or similar place of learning to take the course? Quote Link to post

trappa 517 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I did the bpca part1 at a uni somewhere i cant remember. It was harder for me because i dont really do insects and the like so with a lot of questions on flys, cockroaches etc i didnt think i would pass, but i did Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 the company I work for sent me to the college/uni for a weeks study and exam at the end, I'd only been working in pest control around 6 months and was cacking it, as everyone said it was to soon, the instructor put my mind at rest on my arrival, and although the insect bit bored me to death, I passed, was well happy as it meant a £3000 pay rise Quote Link to post
