It is not a requirement if you do their annual sprayer course.

Their, as in Scottish quality assurance? Sounds like it boils down to the same thing, as a morning and £40-50 per year is the straightforward way to renew here, then there are membership fees on top. The courses are run by 3rd parties (usually chem suppliers) but on a set theme, likely the same as yours.

I've dropped out as my grain is strangely just as good to feed to stock without it.

Apparently our sqc standards have been rated bronze standard assurance by somebody that rates assurance schemes!

Course run with our local machinery ring. Will get you 10 noroso points if you want to be a member of that too but I'm going to save myself that £20 and drop noroso.

Cant you just use your friendly spraying contractors details?

I stand corrected in that case, I must confess I was thinking of SQC standards (Scottish quality crops) where it is a requirement to be a member of NROSO
