Pesticide
Applicator Certification and Training
Nevada Department of Agriculture and Nevada Cooperative Extension provide
training for pesticide applicators. State and federal laws require that only
certified applicators apply or supervise the application of Restricted-Use
Pesticides (RUP). To become certified in Nevada applicators must pass an exam
which is administered by the Department of Agriculture. Please contact any
Department of
Agriculture office to schedule an appointment. Effective January 1,
2008, the 2 day certification trainings are no longer being offered by the
Nevada Cooperative Extension. Individuals wishing to become certified will have
an opportunity to attend limited
training
sessions and limited testing sessions (click link for details).
Effective January 1, 2008, Nevada certified applicators will be able to renew a
current certification by accruing pesticide Continuing Education Units (CEU’s).
A Nevada certified applicator will need to accrue 12 total CEU, with at least 2
of the CEU’s being in “Laws”, during their current certification period (usually
a four calendar year period) {MORE DETAILS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE AFTER JANUARY
1, 2008}. Approved CEU classes can be viewed by visiting the
Nevada CEU web site.
