The BASIS PROMPT Pest Controllers register is an industry/ government initiative which provides independent proof that a pest controller has received proper professional training and has continued to update their expertise through Continuing Professional Development (CPD). As registration has to be renewed each year, members of the register will always be aware of the most up-to-date techniques, products and legal obligations. BASIS PROMPT registration certifies that you, as an individual, have received a high standard of training. This allows you to portray a truly professional image and progressive approach to customers, colleagues and employers alike. The number of members is increasing rapidly as the scheme is recognised industry wide.
