We will be holding the Private Pesticide Applicator Training at the Monroe County Extension Office Auditorium in Aberdeen on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

It is now time for the private applicator certification training, and your PAT certification may be about to expire soon. The PAT certification training has gone through a mandated update by the EPA and has changed the training course which requires approximately 6 hours of  instruction. The new training utilizes a 50-question test. The private applicator course can be completed face-to-face or in an online format. The cost of the PAT training is now $60.

This program is for farmers or landowners who apply any restricted use agriculture pesticide. This program is for both new and existing private applicators. If you are an existing private applicator, please check your card to see if your certification has expired. If you are not sure  about the date of expiration, please contact the office at (662) 369-4951 and we can look it up for you.
