Committee Spotlight
PCT School Committee

The PCT School Committee is charged with planning and executing the annual NCPMA Pest Control Technician's (PCT) School. For nearly 70 years, the PCT School has served as North Carolina's largest gathering for pest management training and is now one of the largest meetings of its kind in the country. It now attracts hundreds of pest management technicians every year!

The committee works closely with the board of directors, exhibitor and vendors, other committees and our hotel partner to ensure that each PCT School is a valuable experience for our members.
