Grandfather rights for pesticide spraying

[headgroundsman]

I have had pa1/2 and six since 1987 not once have I been asked to produce the certificate

 

Same as

[Peasgood]

Just received the work book for the grandfather rights pesticide spraying course. I have never been trained to used a knapsack sprayer and have only used one to spray nettles etc. in my woodland. the assessment looks very hard and there is loads of criteria to learn. Is anyone or has anyone else taking/taken the assessment yet. Not sure if it is worth taking it as I am 70 and find studying for the assessment a lot to take in.

Anyone at 70 has my respect for being fit and able to go out with a knapsack.

On the other hand you have had plenty of time to learn how to calibrate the thing and know the correct operating procedures required to pass the test. Kind of illustrates why the test is there imo.

Nowt personal of course.
