REVIEWS
I am very keen to keep using the training you provide for new technicians and do plan to use the same course for future training. They both felt comfortable and happy with the structure and pace of the course and had nothing negative to say. It was all positive, so great job!.

I have really enjoyed working with the pest control industry, James has run the RSPH Centre really well and has been invaluable on our Sector Advisory Panel.

"I recently undertook the approved RSPH Level 2 training course at Beaver Pest Control.
The quality of training provided was excellent, the trainer James Wood was very knowledgeable and experienced and delivered each Unit with the right amount of detail and with a format that was easy to follow.
If you are looking for an approved qualification in Pest Control Management, I would highly recommend Beaver Pest Control."
