Nationally recognised pest control training for Northern Territory businesses and individuals

Looking to develop the skills of your pest management team? Advance You partners with pest control businesses throughout the Northern Territory to deliver flexible, nationally recognised pest control training for new and existing employees.

If you are an individual in the Northern Territory looking to start or advance a pest-control career, you can train through a local workplace, check RPL if you already have relevant experience, or apply for Ride & Learn if you do not have a workplace.

Whether your business services Darwin, Palmerston, Alice Springs, Katherine, Tennant Creek or remote communities across the Territory, our training is designed to help your workforce build practical industry knowledge while minimising disruption to day-to-day operations.

With flexible course delivery and experienced trainers, we make it easier for Northern Territory businesses to invest in staff development and build a capable, confident team.

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 46378) and sister company of Bundilla Pest Control, our courses draw on decades of field experience to deliver practical, workplace-ready training.

Help your team deliver better pest management services

Your technicians represent your business every time they visit a customer. Investing in professional training helps ensure every employee understands industry best practices, safe work procedures and effective pest management techniques.

Advance You supports businesses wanting to:

  • Train newly employed technicians
  • Upskill experienced field staff
  • Improve service consistency across the business
  • Develop future team leaders
  • Strengthen workplace compliance
  • Support long-term business growth

Whether you employ one technician or manage multiple service teams, structured training can help improve both employee confidence and customer outcomes.

Flexible training that works around your business

We understand that taking technicians off the road for days at a time isn't always practical.

That's why our courses are designed to provide flexibility, allowing your employees to complete learning while continuing to support your customers.

  • Minimal time away from work
  • Practical assessments on real job sites
  • Max 2-day assessment turnaround
  • Immediate course access upon enrolment

Businesses throughout the Northern Territory appreciate training that can be completed around existing work schedules, helping maintain productivity while employees continue developing their skills.

This approach is particularly valuable for businesses servicing large geographic regions where travel time can already consume a significant portion of the working week.

  • Safe chemical handling
  • Integrated pest management
