Course 1

Course 1 covers the first four chapters in the National Pesticide Applicator Certification Core Manual Second Edition from 2014. This course is designed to prepare you for the Core Pesticide Safety exam (formerly the General Standards test) for commercial applicators. The course is interactive and self-guided; you may skip sections of each chapter or entire chapters if you so choose. Topics covered include pest management, state and federal laws and regulations, and pesticide labels and formulations.
Study guide users should understand that the “Notes” section of each slide presents important additional or explanatory information needed to adequately prepare for the commercial applicator core exam. Each chapter contains quizzes designed to help you evaluate your understanding of the topic. Quizzes should be reviewed for the correct answer and the accompanying explanation of why a particular answer is the correct answer.
