NRoSO and BASIS Members – earn up to 20 points/year
4 point course – £22
FSOOTY finalists usually stand out because of their meticulous attention to detail – nothing is overlooked. This course teaches operators how focusing on the details in four common areas can bring big improvements in safety, application efficacy and efficiency while also helping to protect the environment.
8 point course – £44
This eight-point course is for those more experienced operators and is brought to you in association with the NAAC and Syngenta UK. With five lessons covering droplets, beneficials, emergency procedures, application techniques and future developments, prepare to test your spraying knowledge.
Four short-courses – £11 each – 2 points per course

This course looks at formulation types and factors that operators should consider. It explains the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of formulation and things to check when handling, storing and mixing the different types.
This course explains the legal requirements for storage of plant protection products. It provides an overview of the legal requirements for storage, including safety, structure, maintenance, management and mobile storage.
Learn about industry initiatives, known as stewardship schemes, which include a series of best practice guidelines to help prevent off-target contamination and loss. This course helps to protect water quality and the environment.
Want to take online courses every year?
Why not take out an annual subscription to three of our short-courses for just £30 per year. This subscription will auto-renew annually giving you access to six points every year. You can cancel at any time.
Each of our short-courses are worth two points each under both the NRoSO Scheme and the BASIS Professional Register. You can earn up to eight points a year from these short-courses in addition to the four and eight point courses.
How do the courses work?
All our courses include easy to follow lessons and either an end of course test or in-lesson tests. Re-sit as often as necessary to pass and we’ll send your points across to NRoSO and/or BASIS for you. Once purchased, you remain enrolled for 12 months and you must complete the course within that time.
As soon as you complete a payment, head to ONLINE TRAINING, from where you start the course.
If you are an existing NRoSO customer, do not purchase new two point courses if you have already reached the eight point limit as NRoSO will not accept more than eight points a year under this category. To check the status of your points, please check with NRoSO, or head to MY PROFILE to see if your existing points are still active or expired. They expire and are removed from your EiO account after exactly 12 months. Sadly, due to a change in the management of the NRoSO scheme, we are no longer able to offer a free two-point course to members.
You can, however, still take the four point and eight point courses in addition to these courses.
