Our General Pest Management units CPPUPM3005, CPPUPM3006 and CPPUPM3018 will provide you with the knowledge to identify and report on pest activity within a property. Together with completion of the online learning units, students in all states and territories are required to undertake practical experience with a licensed pest management technician. Students will need to fill out a log book and take photographic evidence noting the set tasks they complete with their supervisor, as outlined within the work placement booklet. Students will need to organise their own practical experience by contacting their local pest management technician and accompanying them to jobs. It is a requirement to organise your placement prior to enrolling in the course.

Getting your Pest
Management Licence

In Queensland you will need to complete both the general pest management and timber pest management courses. After completion, submit your Statement of Attainments for both courses to QLD Health. They will issue your licence. You can then also add ‘Termite Management – Chemical’ licence with the QBCC if you like.

In all other states and territories, the requirements differ. Please contact the licensing authority in your particular region to confirm if you are required to obtain a license to inspect and report on pests. This should be done prior to enrolling in this course.

Additionally, we recommend contacting an insurer to confirm their requirements to enable you to get professional indemnity and broad form public liability insurances. Again, this should be done prior to enrolling in this course.
