Growsafe® Training Courses

Growsafe Standard Certificate

$420 (excl GST)


The Growsafe Standard course is for agrichemical users working independently (i.e. with little or no supervision) with responsibility for a single site/property, and may have responsibility for managing or supervising others.

You are likely to be operating in a known set of circumstances, eg one location, crop and/or equipment type (or operating under the supervision of someone with Growsafe Advanced or RCA certification).

Prerequisites

The Growsafe Basic certificate (or equivalent knowledge) plus one season’s spraying experience is a prerequisite for this course.

The course tutors will assume all trainees have a basic level of knowledge of agrichemicals and their use so they can focus on new, higher level content.

In certain limited circumstances, a trainer may grant an exemption to the prerequisite to enable trainees who do not meet the prerequisite to attend the course.

However, the certificate will not be awarded until both written and practical competency is demonstrated.

If you are unsure, talk with us to discuss whether this course is right for you.

Assessment

The Growsafe Standard certificate will be awarded on successful completion of both written and practical assessments.

The practical assessment requires the following:

  • copy of an inventory for your workplace
  • provision of eight completed spray diaries covering eight independent spray events (ie different date, place or agrichemical) with sign-off from an independent third party eg manager

Alternatively, in place of the spray diaries, the following evidence will be acceptable:

  • a practical demonstration of skill in a real or simulated workplace using real agrichemicals
  • interview of candidate by the assessor/tutor
  • interview of candidate’s supervisor/employer
