This sector-specific training package prepares you for pest identification at different skill levels. MPI refers to the different levels as 'the levels of your assessed ability'.
The programme consists of tests for different levels of skills:
- A basic pest identification skill level, testing you for identification of pest groups.
- Advanced pest identification levels, testing you for pest species identification.
Each test shows a number of pest identification questions. Some questions show one pest image, others show more images of the same pest. Additional text may provide extra identification information such as 'requires 20x magnification'. Multiple choice answers permit only one correct answer. Each test must be passed with 100% correct answers. Once a test has been passed, the assessed level of pest identification ability is added to your file, building up the level of assessed pest identification ability with each passed test.
The basic level is a single test with multiple pest groups. Advanced levels tests can be selected so that it is possible to test skill level for a specific pest species.
Make sure that your system manager has set you up as an inspector in the system. Select the myfruitINSPECTOR tab to log in and start a test.
