VPMA Master Technician Series: Rodents & Pest Ants
Learn to manage these pest groups and get 2 steps closer to becoming a Master Technician!
The Master Technician Series provides technicians with in-depth, hands-on training using state-of-the-art microscopes to learn about biology and identification, plus covers treatment, products, and best practices for each pest group. The series of 8 workshops investigates the following major pest groups - Ants, Bed bugs, Blood-feeding Arthropods, Termites, Occasional Invaders, Cockroaches, Rodents, and Pest Flies. After each workshop, participants will receive a certificate designating them as a VPMA Master in the specific pest group they have attended. Once a technician has mastered four of the eight pest groups, special recognition will be made at the final workshop designating them as Master Technicians. In May VPMA is featuring a Master Technician Series on Rodents and Pest Ants. Attend just one pest group, or learn to master both pest groups. Either way, you'll be one step closer to becoming a VPMA Master Technician! Recertification credits have been applied for in categories 7a and 60 for each workshop.

If you are ready to earn your Associate Certified Entomologist (ACE) designation - this course if for you! If you have already been preparing to take the exam, take this course as a last minute refresher, then take the VPMA Proctored exam on June 26th.

You can use the results of your exam to fine tune the areas you need extra studying on! VPMA ACEs stand at the ready to mentor you until you are ready to test again - and the second testing will be free if taken with VPMA. Cost is $138 for VPMA members/$217 for non-members.
