LTA Code of Conduct

The LTA scheme incorporates a Code of Conduct. All technicians accredited under the LTA scheme agree to abide by the LTA Code of Conduct. Where LTA registrants are also members of the IAgrE, the IAgrE Code of Conduct will also apply. The Code and Rules of Professional Conduct for IAgrE members are made available to all members on joining and can be viewed at www.iagre.org/codcon.shtml
