Cost $175

**If interested in taking this class, please pick up the precourse study guide “Manual para Aplicadores Privados de Pesticidas” at the Hood River SWCD office at 3007 Experiment Station Dr., Hood River **

This course will prepare course participants to take the Spanish language Private Pesticide Applicators License Exam. Following the course instruction, on the afternoon of the 5th, participants will take the Washington exam at the the Pine Grove Grange.
NOTE: We are offering the Washington exam because we have found problems with the Oregon exam and the way in which the exam is administered, that results in low pass rates. If participants pass the Washington exam, participants will need to fill out the reciprocity forms and pay a $25 fee to Oregon Department of Agriculture and they will receive their Oregon License in the mail. We will explain this process at the class and can assist participants with this process!
*It is because of this, we are asking participants to return on December 6th for 2 hours 8am-10am to learn about Oregon specific laws for pesticide application from Oregon Department of Agriculture.
Please, if you have any questions on this contact Kris Schaedel 541-386-4588 kris@hoodriverswcd.org
