The Chatham County Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service will be conducting a pesticide school on March 23 and 24, 2005 at the Chatham County Center in Pittsboro, NC. Registration on Wednesday, March 23rd, is from 8:15 to 9:00 am with program beginning at 9:00 am. Program on Thursday will begin at 9:00 am also. Sessions will be over at 5:00 pm on both days.

Those wishing to earn commercial licenses to apply pesticides will attend both days; those wishing to earn private applicators licenses (farmers, nursery or greenhouse operators) will only need to come on March 23.  Cost will be $25.00 for both days plus cost of the manuals; $15.00 for private applicators attending one day only.

We will not be providing study manuals, but you should order them and study before attending the school.  To order manuals, print the order form available at http://ipm.ncsu.edu/pesticidesafety/orderform.PDF  Most people should order the first two manuals (Applying Pesticides Correctly and N.C. Pesticide Laws and Regulations) plus the manual for your category.  The school dates above will include training and testing for licensing in Ornamentals and Turf, Aquatics, and Private Applicators.  Private applicators may order the Instruction Workbook at the bottom of the list.

If you have need of licensing in another category, please contact the Chatham County Center, 919.542.8202 to let us know your needs.  We cannot offer specialized training in every category, but may be able to arrange for testing.  With sufficient demand, we may be able to add training in another category if an instructor can be found. 

It is important for persons interested in this school and exam to pre-register.  Otherwise, there may not be an exam for you to take at the end of the training.  For more information or to register contact the Chatham County Center, 919.542.8202.

Registration includes refreshments and workshop materials.
