The Farmer Pesticide Certification course is a tool intended to help farmers to reduce risks associated with pesticide use. This course is recommended under the Alberta Environmental Farm Plan, but is also mandatory for farmers who wish to use restricted pesticides that require certification such as Aluminum phosphide.
Online home study of the course would be beneficial. The online training is located at the following link or simply search Farmer Pesticide Training on the Alberta Agriculture & Forestry website www.alberta.ca/farmer-pesticide-certificate.aspx
The Certificate will be sent to you by Alberta Agriculture after successfully passing a closed-book exam at the end of day.
Dr. Bill Hamman and Erin McIlwraith are certified trainers who has been teaching pesticide application legislation, applicator and environmental safety for many years.
