New Pesticide Applicator Training Classes
(Core and Categories 5, 6c, 8)
This training program provides an overview of pesticide safety information. Everyone attending the morning session will receive documentation that they have met the requirements of Trained Serviceperson training. A Trained Serviceperson can apply pesticides in Ohio as long as they are working under the supervision of a licensed commercial applicator. The afternoon sessions will review Ornamental Weed Control (Category 6c). Attendees will choose between Industrial Vegetation (Category 5) and Turf (Category 8). Testing is available at the conclusion of the day. A photo ID is required for the test.
Note: There will be no recertification credits offered at any New Applicator classes. If you need recertification credits, please attend one of our Commercial Recertification Conferences in the winter.
