>From our Pesticide Safety Education Program:


"Are you ready for a pesticide inspection?" Find out the fun way by participating in this FREE interactive course, brought to you by the Arizona Department of Agriculture and the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension. The attached 2-page flyer provides you with additional information about the course. If after reviewing it you decide you would like to attend, please send me an email to let me know so we can arrive with the correct number of handouts and plenty of refreshments.



Arizona Pesticide Applicator Pre-Certification Training. This 2-day training will be held in Phoenix on September 28th and 29th. The course is open to anyone who is interested in attending. I will cover the information found in the National Pesticide Applicator Certification Core Study Manual in an interactive format, which I hope helps you to enjoy learning about the safe and effective use of pesticides as you prepare for the National Core Exam. Please see the attached 2-page flyer for more information and the pre-registration form. I am limiting attendance to 30 people, with a registration cutoff date of Friday, September 15th. A confirmation note, agenda, and directions to the site will be sent to the email included on the registration form. This training is FREE.



Arizona Agricultural Pesticide Applicator Certification Exam Event. Back by popular demand, the Arizona Department of Agriculture's Ag Consultation and Training Program will hold an exam event for people interested in getting agricultural pesticide applicator certifications. The event will be held in Phoenix on the morning of Friday, September 30th. The single page flyer attached to this email is a fillable form you can complete and send to the event host, Mr. Roberto Rios. Directions to the exam site will be sent to the email included on the registration form. The exam event itself is FREE. Exams will be graded the following week at the Arizona Department of Agriculture.
