SSAA Victoria has been given the green light to proceed with its new Conservation and Pest Management accreditation course.
Over the past three years the CPM program has been totally reviewed and revamped, with this new accreditation course being a major component of that project.
The previous CPM accreditation course was developed over a decade ago and was well overdue for a revision. The revised course was passed on to Parks Victoria in mid-2016 for approval and has since been adopted.
The new course incorporates a GPS navigation module, along with risk management, shooting techniques, shot placement and a practical shooting component.
As part of the roll-out of the new course, SSAA Victoria will be holding a trial accreditation in Mildura on Saturday, January 21.
Following the trial future accreditation courses will be run only when there are available positions on particular programs. This will ensure those who are CPM-accredited have the chance to attend programs.
