Built by pest control operators, for pest control operators

Advance You was created by the team behind Bundilla Pest Control after experiencing the challenges of training programs that had limited support, availability and confusing assessment requirements.

Our courses are:

  • Designed by active industry professionals
  • Built around real job scenarios
  • Focused on practical competency, not just theory

This ensures your technicians are not just trained and assessed, but genuinely job-ready.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to already work for a pest business in Queensland?
Not necessarily. Practical training happens in a real workplace, so you can train through your employer or a workplace agreement. If you do not have a Queensland workplace, Ride & Learn on the Sunshine Coast provides practical training and supervision through Bundilla Pest Control.
How long does training usually take while working full-time in Queensland?
Most technicians with workplace support finish within 4 to 8 weeks whilst working full time. Duration depends on workplace support, dedicated study time, and wrap around trainer support. Ride & Learn timing is confirmed when you apply.
Is this training nationally recognised for Queensland businesses and individuals?
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. If you have no local workplace, Ride & Learn is the pathway.
Which course should I start with?
New technicians usually start with the General Pest Technician Course. Licensed technicians who want timber pest work often move on to the Timber Pest Technician Course. Experienced technicians may be suitable for RPL, subject to individual assessment. Admin, sales, and operations staff may suit Understanding Pest Management. Use Find My Training Pathway if you are not sure.
Can individuals in Queensland start pest control training without an employer?
Yes. You do not already need a pest-control employer. If you have a local workplace, we can tailor a pathway around that support. If you do not, you can apply for Ride & Learn on the Sunshine Coast.
