2 TS » Training » Pipr »
The Pig Industry Professional Register (PIPR) aims to build the existing skills in the current dedicated workforce, and help attract new people to the industry. In addition it will motivate all staff to meet the challenges of the future.
PIPR will:
- promote an improved, professional, image of the pig industry
- recognise experience and practical skills in addition to formal training
- establish an independent record of skill amongst its members
- promote a clearer image of personal development
- develop well deserved respect for members of the pig industry
- raise productivity and profitability
- raise self-esteem and confidence in the workforce
- ease recruitment issues and make progression within the industry easier
Members must undertake to keep themselves up-to-date and constantly review their practices and procedures in the light of progress and knowledge. A record of activity and progress is maintained for each member independently by City and Guilds. The scheme is entirely voluntary and self funding.
To join please complete the application form and send to City and Guilds with the correct payment.
BPEX has answered a number of Frequently Answered Questions for potential members. If you have a question not covered in these please contact Tess Howe of BPEX (07779 321078) or the PIPR administrator information@PIPR.org.uk or Tel (024 7685 7300).
Already a member?
All types of skills development relevant to your role in the pig industry is recognised by PIPR. If you have recently attended a course, not registered for PIPR points, you can now collect points by completing the ad-hoc course form. The form should be completed and be returned to the PIPR administrator.
Are you a course organiser?
If you are running a course, which you feel will have benefit to staff working in the pig industry you need to submit a registration form to the NPTC offices for PIPR points to be accredited.
