A new Pest Control skill standard is open for consultation to ensure it meets the needs of the Pest Control industry and aligns with current industry standards.

The new skill standard was developed in response to a request from a provider wishing to offer it through their Trades Academy programme, and we anticipate interest from other Trades Academy providers as well.

We are seeking input from individuals working in the Pest Control industry or those involved in delivering related standards and qualifications. This consultation is especially important as there are currently no existing Level 2 Pest Control standards.

We encourage you to review the standard and provide your insightsvia the link: Have your say!

Please make sure your feedback includes your suggested changes and the reasons for the changes. If we understand the ‘why’ of your feedback we can refine the skill standards so that they meet the needs of the industry.
