TUTORIAL and EXAM FOR ALBERTA FARMER PESTICIDE APPLICATOR CERTIFICATE RE-CERTIFICATION
The Farmer Pesticide Certification course is a tool intended to help farmers to reduce risks associated with pesticide use. This course is recommended under the Alberta Environmental Farm Plan, and mandatory for farmers who wish to use restricted pesticides that require certification such as Aluminum phosphide.
The Certificate Course is a one day course. Study manuals are provided in addition to instruction with lectures and Power Point presentation on the seven modules plus the grain storage module. A proctored two hour 70 question exam is provided at 2:30 pm. Training for the Grain Bin Storage with Phostoxin will be provided later in the afternoon. If you already have your certificate and it is about to expire after five years (all certificates issued before 2015 have now expired) then this course will provide you re-certification credentials (no EXAM) for another five years.
Online home study of the course would be beneficial. The online training is located at the following link or simply search Farmer Pesticide Training on the Alberta Agriculture & Forestry website; https://www.alberta.ca/farmer-pesticide-certificate.aspx
