The training is aimed at professional users of rodenticides, including pest control technicians, gamekeepers and farmers. It covers key topics such as stewardship updates, environmental risk assessments and direct bait application in burrows.

The course is free to access, although registration is required. It takes around six hours to complete and offers up to six CPD points. Candidates need three CRRU-UK rodent control content points as part of an approved CPD scheme membership, and can choose any three of the six available topics to meet that requirement.
