Pest Management – Trade Qualifications

In addition to offering training and assessment for Competency Units required for state and territory occupational licensing, PEST Consultants offer Training and/or Assessment in Certificate III and Certificate IV Units of Competency relating to Asset Maintenance (Pest Management).

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 supported financially by accessing traineeship funding, providing the candidate has not participated in a previous traineeship program or does not hold a qualification to Certificate III or higher in any other industry.  Trainees must be fully employed  by a Professional Pest Management organisation.  Traineeships are also available to those entering the Pest Management Industry and who are prepared to commit to gaining a full Certificate III qualification, with the support of their employer.

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 any potential or advertised workplace vacancy.  Holders of formal qualifications are also those usually considered for supervisors positions in larger organisations.

See the pages relating to details of Certificate III and Certificate IV Units of Competency to assess your options.

Do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your individual requirements.

A Certificate of Attainment in any of the National Competency Units is eligible for up to 40 Industry CPD (Continuing Professional Development) Points.

The team at PEST Consultants can adapt most programs to meet the individual needs of both you and your organisation.
