Killgerm is the UK's leading trainer of pest controllers. All of our courses are in line with the HSE, DEFRA and industry guidelines for the training of those involved in pest control and are allocated points by BASIS and DATAS under their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) schemes.

Killgerm courses are modular and can be used to train technicians in specific areas or across the whole spectrum of pest control. Many companies use our courses as a refresher.

All of our courses are presented by fully qualified, highly experienced and knowledgeable specialists from within Killgerm and from other organisations.

Foundation Courses
Our foundation courses are specifically designed for technicians new to the industry and those wanting to know the basics of pest management. They are provided free of charge to customers and their staff (subject to account status) and are run at a number of regional locations.
