Each year hundreds of pest management technicians gather for the Pest Control Technician’s School for classes and continuing education.  Our PCT Education Committee plans the classes and sessions for that event.

Working in partnership with the PCT School Committee, the PCT Education Committee selects the speakers and topics for the annual NCPMA PCT School. Thanks to this committee, PCT School attendees attend classes featuring topics and speakers that are relevant, interesting and educational.

To ensure that the topics are timely and current, a diverse group of professionals from all corners of the pest management industry make up this committee. The committee is comprised of representatives from the N.C. State University Department of Entomology, North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, chemical manufacturers and pest management companies.
