Training providers for facilities

Transitional facility operator

To be a transitional facility operator you must have completed and passed an approved operator training course and be approved by MPI.  

All staff working at a transitional facility need to understand what biosecurity is and how it is managed. MPI has created a biosecurity awareness training module to help your staff with this.

As the transitional facility operator, you will need to sign off that they have completed it. There is a certificate available at the end of the module for them to print. You can file this as proof that they have completed the biosecurity awareness module.
