Torquemada 288 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Any BPCA members on here know if its okay to use the BPCA logo (when you aren't a member) if it has "Trained" in black letters on the bottom of it? Quote Link to post
mad4it 695 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I dont think you can use the logo unless you are a member Quote Link to post
Waz 4,266 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 10+ years ago you couldnt, but you could use the words BPCA qualified or trained. Is the NPTA still going? Become a servicing company member for a lot lot less and you can use the logo on advertising. Quote Link to post

Torquemada 288 Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) I have been a member of the NPTA for years. The question was about the BPCA logo with "trained" on it. Edited to add acutally it says "Qualified" not trained! It's on a pestie website that I saw today and I just wondered if it was okay... Edited December 6, 2016 by Torquemada Quote Link to post
stormyboy 1,352 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 You can state that you are BPCA qualified but can't use the actual logo unless a member. Nor should you, or we could all use whatever logos' we like, which is false advertising at best or plain fraudulent. Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Ive got bpca diploma level qualified on my website. Presumed it was ok?!??!? Quote Link to post
Dirksdonuts 79 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 No the BPCA are really tight on the use of the logo. You must be a member. Not even probationary members are allowed to use the logo. You can however state that you were trained by the BPCA being qualified is normally bodies like RSPH (Royal Society for Public Health) in conjunction with the BPCA. Quote Link to post
