This course does not replace the SPA Core and Petrol Retail retail course and applies only to vehicle mis-fuellers. For contractors working on a Petrol forecourt they still need to also attend the SPA Petrol Retail course

In 2020 a refresher course became available to renew the Core and Mis-fueller’s passports
