  Hi everyone, I have recently completed the short course " IPPC National reporting obligations" is wasn't that difficult since its just give a bit more detail than the surveillance and pest determination course done before. This course goes into the practical side of actually making, publishing and updating the report and gives all the steps. It's a bit like the blogs we are creating for this course. I enjoyed doing this course. It was very long and very understandable.

Hi everyone, I have recently completed my short course in "Advanced Pest Risk Analysis".  This course was loaded with information but it was a bit repetitive of the last course completed "Surveillance and Pest Determination" course. I has explained a lot to me concerning the types of pest how to go about performing a PRA and the types of PRAs for situations among other things. This course gave me the understanding to go in depth with the information to draft my own PRA for the Croton scale insect recently found in tri island state of Grenada. I now have the tools to much more productive in my line of work and therefore making efficiency beneficial to my country. 

Surveillance and Pest Status Determination

Good day everyone, this is it. I have finally completed my my online course in "surveillance and Pest Status Determination". This certificate was a challenge I must admit. It's course material was a lot. .... My understanding of this course is that the NPPO has a heavy burden to carry to keep our countries/islands secure and we have so much work to do in my country of Grenada who is way behind on a ton of things. Beginning with laws and legislations to update. Then the true activation of the NPPO to get our tri island state more secure and no longer be a free port for various contraband. Its time we stepped into 2025 and upgraded of ports of entry with modern technology that with the help of other countries we can successfully implement.
