The first ACE-I, <strong>Kenneth Leung<\/strong> (Hong Kong), passed his exams in February of 2015 and although others have attempted\u00a0it, Peter is only the second person in the world to pass both of the ACE-I exams. The ACE-I program\u00a0differs from the ACE program in several key respects, including the fact that applicants are required to take and pass two exams (one on core entomology and pest management\/IPM skills; and another on pesticide knowledge and safety), instead of just one for the US version of the ACE program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting ACE-certified serves as confirmation that, as a professional trainer in the Australian pest management industry, I \u2018know my stuff\u2019,\u201d Mr Brigden recently told the ESA staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also served as a personal challenge to get a qualification of international standing for the industry and if it challenges others (like it seems to in the USA), then that is a good thing because we need to stretch ourselves mentally from time\u00a0to time. ACE also served as a professional marker because as a trainer I need to continually develop my professional standards in both training (teaching) and industry knowledge (pest management) and for the latter, ACE-I does that in a most unequivocal manner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Brigden of Rapid Solutions has achieved an impressive academic feat in the form of the ACE-I certificate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":9984,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"Peter Brigden of Rapid Solutions has achieved an impressive academic feat in the form of the ACE-I certificate.\u00a0\u00a0","_seopress_robots_index":"yes","_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"company":[132],"pest":[],"pesticide":[],"product-service":[],"class_list":["post-5447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-professional-pest-manager-magazine","company-rapid-solutions","wpbf-post"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/133"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5447"},{"taxonomy":"company","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/company?post=5447"},{"taxonomy":"pest","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pest?post=5447"},{"taxonomy":"pesticide","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pesticide?post=5447"},{"taxonomy":"product-service","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/professionalpestmanager.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-service?post=5447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
