Private Applicator Training - Clay County

Description

We will be holding the Private Pesticide Applicator Training at the Clay County Extension Office in West Point, Mississippi on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.

Your PAT certification may be about to expire soon, so check your card or call the office. 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. 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) 494-5371 and we can look it up for you.

Face-to-face option: Everyone who attends the face-to-face certification training will be required to pay a $60.00 fee for attending the Pesticide Applicator Certification Program. You can pay either by check or money order (check payment method is preferred and NO CASH) and please bring your payment with you to the training. If you are paying by check or money order, please make payable to MSU-ES.

Online option: Private Applicator Certification may be completed online at the website.

The online method allows users to start and stop the training so that it can be completed at your own pace. The training will offer the exam at the end, which will be a proctored exam.
