The National Wildlife Control Training Program (NWCTP) is a cooperative venture of concerned professionals interested in wildlife damage management. The NWCTP uses a standard curriculum for wildlife damage management and develops national competency standards for the private wildlife control industry.

The Wildlife Control Operator Training Program was created by extension agents at land grant universities along with government and private agencies  to support national standards for the control of wildlife and prevention of wildlife damage. The National Wildlife Control Training Program is administered by National Wildlife Control Training Program LLC.
