With BASIS Reg Ltd taking on the operation of NRoSO in April 2023 it has been full steam ahead in getting everything in order and operating within the BASIS ethos and IT systems.
The Annual Training Event (ATE) has come together in just a few months and has seen a complete revision of what has gone before. The objective is to introduce a yearly professional update backed up by a new NRoSO Handbook packed full of information for the professional sprayer operator. A 3-hour course with 10 points, no test, everything you need for the year ahead. Going forwards, latest information will feature in the 3-hour course and unchanged but still relevant and essential information will be contained in the NRoSO Handbook. If any of the information changes then it will be discussed at the event and feature in the NRoSO Handbook.
For this winter, the NRoSO Annual Training Event will be themed on
