Get Ready for Certification
Before you participate in a course or write the exam, read our course manual. You may pick up your manual at a location near you (no charge). If there is no location close to you, please ask us to mail you a manual when you register for your course. We have resources on our web site to help you learn.
Activities to help you learn:
- Look at the Table of Contents. This will help you to follow along in class and to find information during the open-book exam.
- Find the glossary at the back of the book (the green pages). Refer to the glossary if you are unsure about the meaning of a technical word that is new to you.
- Try the questions at the end of each chapter to practice your understanding (the answers are at the back of the book).
- Are you confident that you can calculate how much to use? Read the chapter "Applying the Right Amount of Pesticide".
- Pesticide labels give you the directions specific to each product. Read the chapter "The Pesticide Label" to learn about the information on a pesticide label.
Try the on-line tutorial, "Use Pesticides Safely" This will give you extra practice for the label and math sections.
