Steve Tomasko (Pesticide Applicator Training Program, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
The Pesticide Applicator Training Program (PAT) announces the locations and dates of the 2013 Field & Vegetable Crops commercial pesticide applicator training sessions, which are as follows:
Oshkosh: March 4
Janesville: March 6
Madison: March 18
Eau Claire: March 20
Note that the pre-registration deadline is two weeks prior each session date.
Pre-registration is required to attend any commercial applicator training session. The fee to attend a live training session is $25; this is in addition to the $45 base training fee, which includes the Field & Vegetable Crop pesticide applicator training manual. Note that every applicator seeking certification must pay that $45 training fee. There is a newly updated revision of the manual for 2013. You may obtain the manual and sign up for a training session using a credit card from our PAT Store at: https://patstore.wisc.edu/secure/default.asp. If you prefer to pay by check, you can download a registration form from our website (https://ipcm.webhosting.cals.wisc.edu/pat/).
