Where Can I Obtain Pesticide Applicator Training and Testing?

Is there training available to help you prepare for your applicator license exam?

We offer training for initial certification in spring and for commercial supervisory level certificates in the spring and fall. These trainings will help you prepare for your applicator exam and help you become a safe and efficient applicator.

What is the difference between the Initial Pesticide Applicator Training and the Supervisory Registration Certification-General Use Training?

Initial Pesticide Certification Training is held in the winter/spring of each year and is applicable for both commercial and private applicators. This training helps prepare applicators for the state pesticide exam. The training focuses on the New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules and Regulations, Worker Protection Standards, and the National Core Manual.  It also helps applicators become safe and efficient applicators. This training is not for applicators looking to get a Supervisory Registration Certification - General Use.
