The University of Missouri Extension will be offering training for commercial pesticide applicators January-March 2023.
The online training certifies licensed commercial pesticide applicators. Commercial licenses are valid for three years. MU Extension Pesticide Safety Education Program coordinator Sam Polly recommends that applicators look at their license to determine if they need to recertify this year.

The classes run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants must have a valid email address and access to a computer.
