Who can enrol?
The main audience is plant-protection staff, especially new employees. Producers, importers, exporters, border agencies, partner organisations and interested members of the public can also benefit. The campus permits worldwide access. Learning is online and free; use an account for the learning and assessment route.

How can I use the learning? Before starting, list the plant-health checks you encounter in your work or studies. Afterwards, map those checks to the responsible agency or professional role. This can reveal which parts of the process you need to investigate further.
