COMMERCIAL APPLICATORS - Training Programs
Depending on the pesticide category, applicants requiring Indiana certification have three options. Option 1 are eLearning courses that provide online instruction from speakers with practical experience augmented by photographs, videos and activities. Option 2 is where the applicant self-studies with the training manual. Option 3 is classroom training sessions conducted by experienced instructors going over the materials in the training manuals.
No matter what method is selected to study and prepare, certification exams must be taken at Metro Institute’s remote sites.
