With the new standard which came into effect 5th April 2018 MPI has developed two versions of the Accredited Person Training. One is an update of the previous Sea Container Accredited Person training and the other an Air focused Accredited Person training programme.

1.      Sea & Air Training for Accredited Person – this is the current training SPS Biosecurity Ltd deliver for MPI.  This has a focus on the sea container sites with an overview for a Transitional Facility that may also get Air Containers.

2.      Air & Sea Training for Accredited Person – this is the new training material.  The focus is on air containers (Air Cans, Flat racks etc).  This training is aimed at businesses that predominately handle air containers.
