Frequently asked questions

Do trainees need to be employed by a pest business in Queensland?
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 Queensland?
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 Queensland businesses?
Yes. The units are nationally recognised and align with requirements for pest management licensing in Queensland.
Can regional Queensland technicians complete assessments in their own workplace?
Yes. Practical evidence comes from real jobs. People in Brisbane, regional towns, and rural Queensland 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.
