The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will offer a training session for pesticide applicators April 13-15.

The training will be offered by videoconference 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. Extension and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation personnel will teach the class.

The state requires certification for anyone who acts as a pesticide consultant or engages in the commercial or contract use of a pesticide. Certification is also required for individuals who use or sell restricted-use pesticides.

The training costs $55 and includes the exam and study materials, which are available through Extension offices. Register for the class online at http://bit.ly/ces-workshops or at Extension offices. Participants are encouraged to become familiar with the materials and math needed prior to the training. For more information and to request another training location, contact Janice Chumley at 907-262-5824 or jichumley@alaska.edu.
