Nationally recognised pest control training for NSW businesses

Advance You delivers nationally recognised pest management training for technicians and pest businesses across New South Wales. That includes busy metro crews and smaller regional teams.

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 46378) and sister company of Bundilla Pest Control, our courses draw on decades of field experience. Training stays practical. Your people learn on real jobs, and the evidence they submit matches how your business actually runs day to day.

If you are bringing new technicians on in Sydney, building skills in regional NSW, or upskilling experienced staff, the aim is the same: lift capability quickly and keep paid work moving.

Training aligned with how NSW pest businesses work

NSW operators run tight schedules, cover metro and regional work, and need clear records and safe chemical handling. Our courses map to nationally recognised units used for pest management licensing in NSW.

Technicians can:

  • Train while continuing to work
  • Collect evidence on real job sites
  • Apply your newly learnt skills through our blended workplace training model

That means less downtime, fewer full stop training weeks, and new hires who reach competency sooner.

A smarter way to train your NSW team

When your technicians need to have long periods off the schedule to train, this can severely hurt your revenue. By blending study with work on the job, you can keep your technicians earning, and their learning is enhanced too.

Our training is designed to meet your operation needs, and we incorporate your specific services, products and equipment into your trainees' assessment requirements.

  • No extended time off the tools
  • Practical evidence from real jobs
  • Fast assessment turnaround (max 2 business days)
  • Immediate course access after enrolment

You get training that fits how you roster, and crews pick up the same habits across the board.

Built by pest control operators, for pest control operators

The Bundilla Pest Control team built Advance You to stay compliant, confident and productive whilst growing. We want to support you to do the same.

What you get:

  • Training designed by people who still think like operators
  • Scenarios and evidence requirements grounded in field work
  • A focus on competency you can see on site, not just tick box completion

The result is technicians who are not only assessed, but genuinely ready to represent your brand on the next job.

Frequently asked questions

Do trainees need to be employed by a pest business in NSW?
Yes. Training happens in a real workplace, so trainees need to work for a pest control business, or have an agreement with a company that can support practical assessments and give them real experience before they finish.
How long does training usually take while working full-time in NSW?
Most technicians finish within 4 to 6 weeks whilst working full time. Training duration depends on workplace support, ensuring dedicated study time, transparent communication between the RTO and workplace, and wrap around support for your trainee.
Is this training nationally recognised for NSW businesses?
Yes. The units are nationally recognised and align with requirements for pest management licensing in NSW.
Can regional NSW technicians complete assessments in their own workplace?
Yes. Practical evidence comes from real jobs. People in Sydney, regional towns, and rural NSW can collect and submit that evidence with help from trainers and assessors.
Which course should we start with for new hires or experienced technicians?
New hires usually start with the General Pest Technician Course. Technicians who already hold a licence and want timber pest work often move on to the Timber Pest Technician Course. Admin, sales, and operations staff may suit Understanding Pest Management. Call us if you are not sure what fits your team.
