The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will offer pesticide applicator certification training Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 to communities across Alaska.
The training will take place by videoconference in Fairbanks, Anchorage, Delta Junction, Palmer, Soldotna, Kodiak, Juneau, Sitka and other communities as requested. Classes will meet from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with an exam scheduled after the training.
The state requires certification for anyone who purchases, uses or sells restricted pesticides. Certification is also required for anyone who acts as a pesticide consultant, engages in the commercial or contract use of pesticides or supervises their use at a public location.
The training costs $75 and includes the exam and all study materials. The training will be repeated April 3-5 in the same communities and other requested locations. Registration for the January training is at http://bit.ly/2AZlkNr.
Participants are encouraged to become familiar with the materials and required math before the training. For more information and to request another training location, contact Phil Kaspari at 907-895-4215 or pnkaspari@alaska.edu.
