The pesticide exam will be offered by a DEC representative in Plattsburgh on July 30th at the MHAB conference space, located at 14 Dormitory Drive in Plattsburgh, NY.  Attendees wishing to sit for the exam will need to enroll for the exam separately.  

This CCE training is not a substitute for the required 30-hour training class.  CCE supplemental training is available only to those who already meet the education and/or experience requirements and are therefore qualified to sit for the Private Applicators Certification Exam.  All participants must have experience working on their own farm, or through employment on another farm.  Any questions on exam eligibility will be answered by your regional DEC representatives.

Each attendee should have a copy ot the core and category manual they plan to test in.  PMEP Training Manuals can be purchased online through the Cornell Store by visiting: https://www.cornellstore.com/books/cornell-cooperative-ext-pmep-manuals
