Dear Members,
Ready to level up your team’s turf and landscape capability - and stay fully legal.
PCO Programme - Landscaping (NQF Level 4)
The PCO/Landscape programme equips pest control operators with practical skills in w**d control and the management of plant pests & diseases across commercial, industrial and “Working for Water” environments. The course aligns with Agriseta Unit Standards (116301, 116419, 116429 & 116520) and is available in-person (Johannesburg) or via e-learning.
Get your PCO licence - simple pathway
If you already work under a licensed PCO: Complete the landscaping programme → Register with the Department of Agriculture. Renewals are handled directly with the Department.
If you don’t: Complete the PCO programme → Work under a registered PCO/Mentor from PMA for 6 months (mentorship fee listed) → Register with the Department of Agriculture.
Why compliance matters
Legal: registration and renewals are statutory requirements, non-compliance risks heavy fines.
Safety & environment: licensed training ensures correct pesticide handling, application and disposal to protect staff, members and the environment.
Reputation & procurement: compliant clubs reduce liability and meet supplier, insurer and member expectations.
Professionalism: a licensed, trained PCO demonstrates best practice and raises operational standards across your club.
