Fumigation Training – Fumigation Licence Course.

This course covers the skills and knowledge required to apply fumigants to control organisms and organism activity that affect the health, safety or amenity of persons, commodities or environments in domestic, commercial, industrial and maritime situations. The unit requires understanding client requirements, assessing the site, and selecting and using equipment, fumigants and application methods to effectively manage organisms.

Course Units

Licencing requirements for fumigation vary depending on which state in Australia you wish to be licenced.

ProTrain workshops focus on the main unit of competency CPPUPM3011 – Manage organisms by applying fumigants to commodities and environments.

Successful completion of this unit of competency enables candidates to apply for an occupational licence in most states of Australia.

Western Australia has additional requirements to be eligible to apply for a licence. Please contact the team at ProTrain to discuss these requirements and options for meeting them.

Pre-Requisites

It is highly recommended that candidates have spent a reasonable amount of time assisting a qualified fumigator and have a basic understanding of the fumigation process.
