New Pesticide Applicator Training Classes
(Core and Categories 2c, 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 Agricultural Weed Control (Category 2c) and 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.
