Certificate III - PRM30204

PEST Consultants are positioned to assist you and/or your staff to extend and develop additional and industry recognised Pest Management skills.

Many Pest Management Technicians undertake training and assessment in only the basic Units of Competency which is enough to gain their state or territory occupational license but do not realise that with a little further study they can gain a full industry recognised Trade Qualification - Certificate III Asset Maintenance (Pest Management - Technical).  This additional study can, in most cases, be also supported financially by accessing traineeship funding, providing the candidate has not participated in a previous traineeship program and is employed by a qualified Pest Management organisation.

A full trade qualification in any industry, and particularly in the Pest Management Industry, makes the holder of the qualification a much more valuable employee and more importantly makes the holder of the qualification more employable as they have automatically placed themselves ahead of other applicants when applying for an industry related workplace vacancy.  Holders of formal qualifications are also those normally considered for supervisors positions in larger organisations.
