Statewide Pesticide Exam Calendar

Important Pesticide Exam Information

Read This First!

You must contact the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regional office offering the exam to pre-register. "Walk-Ins" are NOT allowed! When you pre-register, you will need to provide proof of eligibility to sit for the exam. Please view the examination procedures for prospective candidates for pesticide applicator/technician certification exams (PDF - 25 KB). You can also obtain information about exam fees, location and time of the exam, and any special requirements for taking the exam. This is also a good time to ask any questions you may have about the certification process.
