From January 2026 there are important changes in legislation that will affect many rodenticide users.
Anybody wishing to purchase professional use rodenticide products must hold a stewardship-specific training certificate less than 5 years old, or an older certificate will be valid provided they are part of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme.
For farmers and gamekeepers existing membership in Farm Assurance Schemes will no longer be enough to purchase rodenticide products, so a CRRU approved certificate within the last 5 years must also be held.
We offer this Lantra fully online, CRRU approved training course and assessment in Level 2 Rodent Management which can be easily completed in your own home within 4-6 hours, and following successful completion will provide you with an e-certificate that will be valid for the next 5 years. The £120+ VAT fee includes both the training and the online proctored
