Discover NPTA Training Courses
Choosing a pest control training course isn’t just about looking at the course title, price or number of CPD points available. You also want to know whether the training is useful, relevant and worth taking time away from your working day to attend.
One of the best ways to understand that is to hear from people who have already taken part. The NPTA provides a growing range of pest control training for technicians and business owners, from online and virtual courses to specialist technical training, qualifications and business development sessions.
So, what do people who have attended NPTA training actually think?
Recent Feedback
Previous attendees of NPTA virtual courses have highlighted both the quality of the content and the practical information they have been able to take away.
One attendee described a session as:
“Excellent content, very comprehensive coverage of subject. I gained some useful tips.”
Another described their training as:
“The talk was very interesting and informative.”
That practical element is particularly important. Training should provide knowledge that technicians can take away and apply in their everyday work, rather than simply completing a course for the sake of it.
Business Training Has Also Received Strong Feedback
NPTA training isn’t limited to technical pest management. Feedback from a recent business-focused Action COACH session was particularly positive, with all attendees rating the event 5 out of 5 and the facilitator also receiving perfect scores.
Attendees highlighted areas including planning, communication, pricing, finances and taking a fresh look at their business.
Comments included:
“Thoroughly recommend this webinar, gets you thinking differently.”
“Essential for any business owner.”
This demonstrates the wider role training can play, supporting not only better pest control but stronger pest control businesses.
