Pesticide Training Dates
Now Available!
Any person handling, applying or supervising the use of pesticides as part of that person's job must be certified and licensed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.  Non-commercial pesticide applicators must complete 12 hours of training over a three-year period to remain certified.  Our workshops offer four hours of continuing education training.

Category 3, 5, 6 and 18 Continuing Education Training

This workshop is for those individuals who are currently licensed and who need continuing education credit in order to keep their applicator's license. 
 
This workshop provides three general hours and one specific hour for each of the four categories (3, 5, 6 and 18), for a total of seven hours of training if the individual holds certification in all four categories.  If certification is only in one category, individual will receive four hours (three general and one specific in the category); if certification is held in two categories, individuals will receive five hours (three general and one specific in each of two).

Category 3, 5, and 6 Training and Testing

To prepare workers to take the certification exam, we provide six hours of instruction, and at the completion of the training, the Department of Agriculture administers the exam. With the instruction fresh in their minds, 90 percent of the workers pass the exam the first time.

Did you know that new drivers are more likely to be involved in a fatal crash simply due to inexperience?
 Having regular conversations about safety, practicing driving together, and leading by example go a long way to ensuring your teen makes smart decisions when they get behind the wheel.  One way to get on the same page as your teen when it comes to your family's rules of the road is to create a Parent-Teen Driving Agreement.  This agreement puts your rules in writing to clearly set expectations and limits.
