New exciting training program for the Pest Control Service Industries Board

The PCSIB is proud to announce that we are now presenting a new Skills Development short course. This course is designed to meet the needs of those both new to Pest Control and experienced individuals looking to upgrade their skills.

We are concious that although those involved in Pest Control are first and foremost the guardians of public health, many still regard pest control officers as simply "rat catchers".
Pest Control today is both complex and highly regulated. Controlling target species without affecting the health of non-target species or damaging the environment takes both knowledge and skill.

With this in mind the new three day course "Structure Pest Control" has been added to our training portfolio.

Mixing and preperation of Pesticides as well as the safety measures to be taken.
