Testing for Private and
Commercial
Pesticide Applicators in East-Central and Southeast Iowa
Welcome!
Testing is for individuals who wish to renew their pesticide applicator's
certificates by testing, as opposed to attending a continuing instruction
course annually, and for those who are not currently certified and wish to
become certified. Tests for both private and commercial applicators are
available at each testing site. Private applicators should allow 45
minutes for their test. Commercial applicators should allow 45 minutes
for the Core Test and 30 minutes for each Category Test.
Training in preparation for the test(s) is available from Iowa
State University for both private
and commercial
applicators.
During the months of January through March, testing is conducted
at many locations throughout the state. The early year testing in
East-central and Southeast Iowa in 2012 follows. During this time, there
will also be testing
done in other parts of the state (Adobe Acrobat
Reader is required.)
