In-Person Training / Review Sessions:

Training/review sessions are optional and not required. You can get your training materials (manual), study on your own, and take the exam when you feel you are ready.

• The commercial test will be proctored by DATCP. You will have to present your PAT number found either on your E-ticket or printed training registration certificate to have your certification test scored.

• NOTE: The UW PAT Program is a part of the University of Wisconsin and must abide by all rules in place for your safety and the safety of its employees. The UW PAT Program has NO say in any rules or any changes to those rules.
• If training sessions are canceled due to these rules (weather conditions) you can be transferred to another training if one is available or you can get a refund. We will also have to abide by the rules of the venue.
• On rare occasions, due to severe weather or for reasons out of our control (e.g. the bankruptcy of the venue) the session can change location or be canceled.  If this occurs, you will be notified via email when the decision has been made.  It is your responsibility to monitor your email for updates and changes, especially if a weather event is predicted.
