[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7857647, member: 2119"] Is it really a profession? It’s a sprayer not a nuclear reactor. How much does it take to read a spray ticket, and keep it at 10k 3 barg or wherever it needs to be? I agreed with PA1 and 2. A good grounding. Then you learn from experience, from machine specific training (which is never covered by NRoSO) and reading literature, agronomist input etc.This need for ongoing CPD to drive a sprayer is overblown in my view. I’m 52, I have been driving sprayers for 40 years. I’m always up for learning new stuff but to say I can’t continue just because I haven’t recorded some points is balmy in my view. Spraying isn’t the sort of job where you get it wrong more than once anyway. It’s a kind of self regulating career in that respect. Those that can do it, do it. Those that can’t are soon down the road, regardless how many NRoSO points they have. Sorry to say that a lot of the NRoSO training might sound worthy in a classroom but most of it is about 10% of the actual job. You’ll never be shown how to Jack up a high clearance machine safely and change the wheels, how to change a Ramsey box diaphragm or how to get up a sticky hillside in a hydrostatic by transferring more flow to the back wheels. Heaven help anyone who thinks they can drive a sprayer because they’ve got 30 NRoSO points. [/QUOTE]
