Certified Wildlife Control Professional (CWCP)

Did you know there is an over-reaching certification that verifies a WCOs superior level of education, experience, and ethical standards? The Certified Wildlife Control Professional (CWCP) is conferred to WCOs who meet the arduous requirements that cover five categories: experience, training, successfully passing an exam, ethics, and completing an application. Each application is verified by NWCOA Executive Staff and approved by the NWCOA Governing Board or designee.

Not only is this an advantage when marketing your services to consumers, but it also gives you an edge when applying for larger contracts that often require such certifications.
