Using pesticides – Applicator tutorials

Optional in-class tutorials are available for individuals pursuing pesticide applicator, dispenser or authorized assistant certificates.

Overview

These tutorials are taught by a team from colleges, government and/or private industry. They are hosted by colleges and training providers throughout Alberta.

Benefits of tutorials

If you are preparing for the pesticide applicator or dispenser exam, the tutorials will help. The in-class training reinforces understanding of the home-study courses. The tutorials consist of a series of workshops and hands-on labs.
