Private Applicators apply pesticides in the production of an agricultural commodity, such as farmers, ranchers, and greenhouse workers. The Private applicator exam covers information from the General Knowledge sections (Chapter 1-5) and Agriculture Plant Pests and Agriculture Animal Pests (Chapter 6 & 7). Private applicators using fumigants must take the applicable fumigation exam (Chapter 15: L2 - Non-Soil Fumigation, Chapter 16: L3 - Soil Fumigation).

Non-Private Applicators apply pesticides for purposes other than the production of agricultural commodities, such as roadway, railroad, and golf course workers. Non-private applicators must take the General Knowledge exam (Chapter 1-5) and an exam for each category they intend to certify in.
