Get certified
To acquire and use 1080, Pindone, RHDV, or PAPP baits in NSW you must be accredited (or under the direct supervision of an accredited person) with an AQF3 Chemical Accreditation or Vertebrate Pesticide Induction Training (VPIT) course certification.
How the course works
This Local Land Services course takes you through the legal responsibilities, safety requirements and practical considerations for effective use of baits and pesticides.
You can choose to do the free training online, or your Local Land Service region may offer face-to-face training for small groups (see below).
Our online VPIT course takes a few hours to complete.
It mirrors traditional face-to-face training using video and other online learning methods.
Once you successfully complete the 6 tutorials and one quiz within the course, you will be emailed a certificate which is valid for up to 5 years.
Note:
- In registering for this course, please use your full name and contact details. These will be used to populate your certificate upon successful completion of all modules and exams.
- Please ensure that you keep your certificate accessible as you will be required to show this certificate to the Local Land Services Staff when collecting baits.
- A certification from the VPIT course does not permit a person to utilise any pesticides other than 1080, Pindone, RHDV, or PAPP
- This course does not provide an accreditation for the use of Canid Pest Ejectors. This training is available locally, please contact the nearest Local Land Services Office to find out more about the Canid Pest Ejector Training.
