New Course Launch – Lantra Level 2 Award in Rodent Management – Be Ready for 2026

Lantra Level 2 Award in Rodent Management – Be Ready for 2026

If you work in pest control, agriculture, estate or land management, or any setting where managing rodent populations is part of the job, now is the time to act.

We’re excited to launch the Lantra Awards Level 2 Award in Rodent Management, a certified training and assessment course designed to meet the new legal requirements coming into force from 1st January 2026.

Why This Course Matters

From 2026, training alone will no longer be considered valid proof of competence for purchasing professional-use rodenticides. In response to updates in the CRRU (Campaign for Responsible Rodenticide Use) code of best practice, a recognised qualification will be essential.

Our Level 2 Award in Rodent Management is CRRU-recognised and will ensure you remain compliant, confident, and qualified.

Who Should Attend?

This course is ideal for:

  • Pest control professionals

  • Farm and estate workers

  • Gamekeepers and land managers

  • Those responsible for rodent control in domestic, agricultural or commercial environments

Whether you’re new to rodent control or looking to update your credentials in line with the new legislation, this course provides everything you need.

What You’ll Learn

Delivered by industry-experienced trainers, the course includes:

  • Legal responsibilities for rodent control

  • Identifying target and non-target species

  • Recognising evidence of rodent activity and conducting surveys

  • Selecting appropriate control methods

  • Managing and applying rodenticides safely

  • Record keeping, safe storage, and correct disposal practices

On successful completion, you’ll receive a Lantra Level 2 Award in Rodent Management certificate – fully compliant with future CRRU standards.

Be Prepared for 2026
