Location: State Office Building, 305 Ludington St., Escanaba, MI 49829 Review session: March 22, 2016, 9:00am – 1:00pm Eastern Time State exams: 1:30 pm Eastern Time
This 4-hour review is intended to help prepare for the State of Michigan commercial and private pesticide applicator certification exams. 4 re-certification credits toward renewal of current State of Michigan Pesticide Applicator Certification is available for private applicators and commercial applicator ‘core’ category. The program will consist of a review of example exam questions from the study manuals. It is strongly suggested that participants acquire copies of the National Pesticide Applicator Certification Core Manual and study it thoroughly before the exam. If seeking commercial certification or re-certification, the study manual for the category(s) desired should also be acquired and studied. This program will cover only ‘core’ manual material, no commercial categories.
A State of Michigan official will offer certification exams after the review is completed. If you plan to take an exam, register at www.michigan.gov/pestexam and be prepared to pay $50 for the private exam and $75 for the commercial exam (including any number of categories) by check payable to “State of Michigan”. A waiver from the State of Michigan is offered to honorably discharged veterans seeking private pesticide applicator certification. You must provide a copy of your veteran’s federal form DD-214 that indicates honorable discharge status along with your application.
Lunch will not be provided. A 1/2 hour break is scheduled between the review and the exams for participants to have lunch. If taking an exam, bring your own lunch, or plan for a very quick lunch break.
A $10 fee, payable at the door, is required for the review session. If paying by check, make check out to “Michigan State University Extension”. This fee covers program costs and refreshments. (Note: This is a separate fee from the State of Michigan exam fee).
