Pest Control is an increasingly essential field for protecting homes, businesses, agriculture, and public health. This Level 3 Advanced Diploma provides a comprehensive understanding of modern pest management, ensuring learners can identify, analyse, and respond to infestations with confidence and professional skill. The programme offers a deep dive into pest biology, behaviour, safety procedures, and sustainable treatment methods, helping you build the expertise required to handle real-world challenges effectively.

The course begins by establishing strong foundational knowledge, exploring the principles that underpin responsible pest control. You'll examine health and safety standards, legislation, and ethical considerations that guide best practice. From there, the curriculum expands into the behaviour and life cycles of various pest species, giving you the ability to accurately identify signs of activity and understand the factors that cause infestations to develop.

A major strength of this diploma is its practical approach to inspection and identification. You will learn how professionals carry out site assessments, monitor pest populations, recognise damage, and apply diagnostic techniques. With this knowledge, you can select appropriate control measures tailored to each environment.

You’ll also explore a wide range of treatment strategies, including chemical methods, biological control, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), rodent control, insecticide applications, bird management, and humane wildlife handling. The course places strong emphasis on safety, sustainability, and environmental responsibility—key qualities employers and clients now expect from pest control professionals.

Advanced modules cover industry-specific applications such as agricultural pest control, food-industry protection, healthcare facility management, and urban environments. Business-focused lessons help you understand customer service, documentation, audits, and running a pest control operation professionally.

Upon completion, learners receive a free course completion certificate. Optional premium certificate and transcript packages are available for those who wish to present official credentials.
