Pesticide Applicator Training Offered
The Colorado State University (CSU) Cooperative Extension Office in El Paso
County announces the availability of three Pesticide Applicator trainings this
fall.
The first training session will be on Nov. 28, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. and
the second will be held that evening starting at 6:30 p.m. at the CSU Extension
Office located at 305 South Union Blvd. The final training will be held on
Nov.30, 2006 at 6:30 p.m. in Ellicott at the Community Center located at
23355 Highway 94.
Registration is only $25 for private applicators and $35 for commercial
applicators wishing to get continuing education credits for the training. The
registration fee includes training materials, handouts and resources, light
refreshments and the Cooperative Extension Office will process participant’s
applications for their licenses.
Beginning in January of 2007, it will cost applicators approximately $95 to
obtain a private pesticide applicators license from the Colorado Department of
Agriculture. These trainings are being held prior to January so that those
wishing to obtain their license can avoid that cost. The license will be valid
for four years. Even if a license is not needed, the training will help
participants learn about how to safely apply pesticides.
Class size is limited and the trainings are expected to fill up quickly.
Please call (719) 636-8920 to register for one of the trainings as soon as
possible.
