Commercial Pesticide Applicator's License
Examination
Training and Examination
To update you on the progress of the new online commercial pesticide licensing exam process, Chattahoochee Tech down the road will have the exam available beginning Wednesday, March 7 at 9 am. They intend to be offering it every other Wednesday from then on. I have arranged with them to attend the first session to observe so I can become personally familiar with how it works. There’s two people scheduled to take the test that day.
If you get inquiries tell them to call Chattahoochee Tech, Continuing Education (770) 528-4550.
You can also still direct them to the website www.gapestexam.com
Study materials are available through the University of Georgia and your local county extension office.
