Termite pre-construction treatment and management certification
Pre-construction soil treatment, post-construction remedial control, active infestation management and monitoring. Termite treatment is a mandatory procurement line item for developers, contractors and FM companies managing building handovers across the GCC, and this track trains the people who carry it out and sign it off.
A premium track from PVS Academy, the training arm of Precision Vector Solutions, designed by Juan M Rodriguez, Board Certified Entomologist.
Termite work is checked at handover, and again at every warranty inspection
A pre-construction treatment is invisible once the slab is poured. What the developer, the consultant and later the FM company have to go on is the treatment record, the certification and the warranty that come with it. When those are thin, nobody can show what was applied, where, or at what coverage.
The same gap shows up after handover. Remedial treatment, baiting programmes and drywood work all depend on inspection skill and on records an auditor or a municipality can follow. This track covers the treatment itself and the documentation that has to stand behind it.
For an operator that needs the same standard taught on its own sites and procedures, the track can also run as team training.

- Mud tube construction, swarm seasons and early detection signs
Module 02 · Sector
Pre-construction soil treatment
- Site preparation: soil conditions, moisture and compaction factors
- Termiticide selection: emulsifiable concentrates, non-repellents, repellents
- Application methods: trench-and-treat, rod injection, slab pre-treat
- Treatment rates, coverage calculation and soil absorption factors
Module 03 · Sector
Pre-construction treatment, structures and documentation
- Foundation walls, piers and expansion joint treatment

Certified Termite Management Technician
Awarded on completion of the track and its field practicum. The certificate renews every two years and carries 4 CEU.
It also counts toward the wider PVS certification ladder: the Foundation Certificate plus any four tracks leads to the PVS Certified Professional Field Technician designation. See the full certification ladder, or the landscape and red palm weevil track.
