NPTA On The Road Days Remaining for 2026

Maxine Kean, Administration Assistant at the NPTA

As we head into what is always a busy period for the pest control industry, I wanted to take a moment to remind you about the fantastic training and networking opportunities still available through the NPTA over the coming months.

One of the things I enjoy most about my role is speaking with members every day, whether it’s helping someone book onto a course, answering questions about an event, or simply catching up with familiar faces at our meetings around the country. Our training courses and On The Road Days are a great chance to invest in your professional development, share experiences with fellow technicians, and stay up to date with industry best practice.

 

NPTA On The Road Days Remaining for 2026

We still have five On The Road Days taking place this year:

  • Peterborough – 8th September
  • Southampton – 16th September
  • Durham – 23rd September
  • Reigate – 7th October
  • Chester – 21st October

These events continue to be incredibly popular, offering practical technical updates, industry news and valuable networking opportunities with colleagues from across the sector.

I’ll be at all of these events so if your attending make sure you come and say hello.

 

September Training Courses

September is shaping up to be one of our busiest training months, with a range of courses designed to support technicians at every stage of their career:

If you’re unsure which course would best suit your needs, or if you have any questions about any of the events, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’ll be happy to help.

Places on some events are limited, so I would encourage you to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

I look forward to speaking with many of you over the coming weeks and hopefully seeing you at one of our events soon.
