This two-day training provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills to responsibly apply pesticides in compliance with Vermont regulations. The course expands upon initial pesticide certification training to offer additional hands-on learning and in-depth discussion to help participants prepare for certification or earn 9 continuing education credits. 

Instruction includes review of the Northeast Core Manual and Vermont Rule for Control of Pesticides, along with hands-on exercises in label evaluation, equipment calibration and rate calculations, personal protective equipment use, and risk assessment. No pesticides will be applied by students in this course. 

Participants will have the option to take the Vermont Pesticide Applicator Certification Core Exam on-site, administered by the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets. Additional exams and fees may be required to complete certification and licensing in Vermont or other states.
