Similar to last year, a pesticide applicator training designed specifically for Spanish-speaking individuals will be held on January 30th in Fond du Lac County. The training will be presented in English and simultaneously interpreted into Spanish by a team of professional language interpreters. The day will also include Worker Protection Standard training for workers and show the EPA approved training video in Spanish. Participants will have the option of taking the private applicator certification test following the training. Please note: The training is offered in both English and Spanish, but the test is only offered in English. Employers, foremen and managers are welcome to accompany their employees. Registration is required (lunch provided). Location: UW Fond du Lac, Room AE-205/206.
