Join the CPD scheme specifically designed for pest professionals

In the past, BPCA existed solely to support companies working in pest management.

After lots of feedback from members, we now recognise the individual contributions of staff members. We do this through our CPD scheme, BPCA Registered.

BPCA Registered recognises and records the qualifications and skills you earn throughout your career.

By being a part of BPCA Registered you’ll get a BPCA Registered card. The card proves your commitment to professionalism and continued development to your clients.

Having our technicians recognised as BPCA Registered Technicians is great motivation for them and, as the scheme develops, will encourage our team to achieve higher qualifications. I think the ID card will also give our customers added assurance that they are in safe hands.

BPCA Registered is currently only available to employees of BPCA member companies.

Independently verified CPD scheme

Independent auditors assessed BPCA Registered to the CPD Certification Service’s stringent quality processes, making it the only scheme in the sector to achieve this standard.

BPCA Registered sits alongside other CPD providers that also hold the accreditation, such as Oxford University, the Football Association (FA), the Carbon Trust and the Royal Air Force.

The latest technology

BPCA Registered gives you:

• An online CPD diary for recording your learning
• Digital versions of your ID card available on your phone
• Completed CPD resources automatically added to your diary.

Continuing professional development (CPD) your way

Your CPD isn’t limited to formal training and attending events or seminars. Much of a technician’s development comes from experience learned on the job.

BPCA Registered recognises unstructured learning. This means that whether it’s informal training in the field, reading a magazine or watching a seminar on-demand, you can record this activity in your CPD diary.

Examples of acceptable CPD

The BPCA Registered website allows you (or your employer) to record unstructured CPD points...

CPD category split

No matter which category of BPCA Registered you’re in, you’ll need to register at least 20 CPD points covering a variety of areas every year.

For BPCA membership criteria, you must complete your 20 CPD points for your employer to stay a BPCA member.

And if you get stuck?

Our dedicated training and education team will be at the end of the phone to help you keep learning and reach your points target for the year.
