This course is also the perfect preparation for surveyors who wish to go on to take the Certificated Surveyor in Japanese Knotweed (CSJK) examination.

Who is the Japanese knotweed training course for?

Similar to our traditional classroom based training, this course will be open to both members and non-members. Aimed at those involved in and with some prior knowledge and experience of the identification, assessment and management of Japanese knotweed, and other common invasive species. This is a great way to access training as the remote format enables candidates to complete the modules at their own pace, either in an office or home environment. 

For those with little to no experience looking to gain further knowledge and understanding of these invasive species we would recommend you consider our Technicians Training: Japanese Knotweed before attending this course.
