PESTICIDE SAFETY TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES 2012

The 2012 Annual Alaska Certified Pesticide Applicators Conference was a success thanks to our knowledgeable speakers and interested attendees.  Thanks for your participation and we look forward to next year's conference.

PSEP conducts workshops and provides training materials for persons seeking DEC pesticide applicator certification and re-certification. Initial and Re-Certification applicants are strongly encouraged to attend classes as there is a new core exam and supplemental exams per each category that have proven to be challenging.  Students are encourage to study on their own to become familiar with the materials prior to attending classes.   

You must be 18 years old to apply for certification.

You may register and pay for classes through our online payment system at:https://epay.alaska.edu/C21563_ustores/web/store_cat.jsp?STOREID=2&CATID=14
