Pesticide certification training offered
January 14, 2016
The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will offer three-day
training sessions for pesticide applicators in February and in April.
The first session will be offered by videoconference Feb. 8-10 in Fairbanks, Anchorage,
Soldotna, Palmer, Delta Junction and other communities as requested. Classes will
meet from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with an exam scheduled after the training. The training
will also be offered April 25-27 in the same communities. Extension agents and Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation personnel will teach the classes.
The state requires certification for anyone who uses or sells restricted pesticides.
Certification is also required for anyone who is a pesticide consultant, engages in
the commercial or contract use of pesticides or supervises their use at a public location.
The training costs $55 and includes the exam and necessary study materials, which
are available at Extension offices or by mail. Register for either class online at
http://bit.ly/ces-workshops or at local Extension offices. Participants are encouraged to become familiar with
the materials and math needed prior to the training.
