To undertake the 1080 training, people must have completed the AgVet Farm Chemical Users Course or equivalent training or have obtained an Agricultural Chemical Users Permit (ACUP) issued by the Department of Primary Industries (Vic).

Urgent Training - Distance Learning Option

  • It is possible to complete the training through a Distance Learning option. This involves studying the information sent to you at home and then arranging to meet a registered 1080 trainer to complete the assessment requirements. If the trainer needs to travel to your property then an additional cost is likely. Contact ChemCert Victoria if you want to enrol in the Distance Learning option - phone (03) 56 222 055 or complete the above online enquiry form.
