BASIS / NROSO CPD Points

[Lincsman]

My only tff point were Aug14, and it says i have claimed them in the last 12 months???, can i get another pair of points or not?

 

[richard hammond]

Check your Statements, I checked mine over Christmas and they had not been allocated, I messaged BASIS and they
have now been added,

 

[twjg2]

Basis tend to be good at adding points when you call them, otherwise not always so hot...

Anyone know of any courses in the worcestershire area?

just ensured our registered spray operatives have another 4 points, by completing a multiple choice on line test courtesy of the yellow peril , a farce imo as is the 4 from agronomist meeting effectively thats 8 without leaving the office or being any where near a sprayer or actual growing crop / chemical container. Plus another 3 for being around when the sprayer is tested or a day out at cereals for anothe 6 once every 3 years ,there is actually no need to drive/operate the machine or touch /read a chem label or container, pointless

You're right. I don't bother carrying my card these days. I can remember my account number which works for the paper version. I've got enough damn plastic in my wallet with loyalty cards (for 5 different supermarkets).

Use BeepnGo app to store all your cards on your phone. The only time it hasn't worked was at LAMMA for BASIS as their scanners couldn't recognise the bar code!!!!!

My take on it is that you must have learned something from doing all those things and have at least demonstrated you are showing an interest.
What alternative would you prefer, a 2 hour written exam every year? Be thankful for small mercies.

 

[Brisel]

Thank you. I'll check out that app

On a similar topic - is it worth having a topic on here listing events, subscriptions etc. that provide BASIS/NRoSO points?

 

[Steevo]

@llamedos - is this something we could do please?

Yes, by all means, however please do not rely on me to populate it, obviously I come across some of the events & PR from them, but not all, so it needs to be member populated too.

Oh completely! I'd just think of it as something we can all chip in on if we know of an event going on. Suppliers can also add any events they are hosting too!

Would you like to set it up, or should we?

Happy to start it off for you.

As requested,

A thread specifically for any events/subscriptions where members will be able to gain points.

If you know of anything please feel free to add to this thread.

Suppliers are also welcome to add to it.

TFF gives you points (albeit not enough, considering the value of TFF)

 

[Steevo]
