Online Learning

As an alternative to the General Pest Control course, an online learning package is available that provides the same range of topics in a modular system. This allows users to go through the learning at their own pace and at the times that suit them.

Modules can be purchased individually or as a complete package of five, with the access to the learning material lasting one year from purchase; though it is estimated that the course is approximately 40 hours of learning in total, dependant on the individual.

Modules

• Principles of Pest Control
• Birds
• Insects
• Mammals
• Rodents

Non-Member price: £500.00 + V.A.T.
Members price: £300.00 + V.A.T.

Individual Modules: £100.00 + V.A.T.

The RSPH/BPCA (Level 2) Award in Pest Management exam can be arranged once the user has completed the online modules and feels ready.
