Free Virtual Pesticide Safety Preparation Courses for Spanish-Speaking Private Pesticide Applicators
Spanish-speaking agricultural workers in North Carolina have a unique opportunity to strengthen their knowledge of pesticide safety and obtain their private pesticide applicator certification through a series of 10 free virtual workshops. These workshops, hosted by NC State Extension Farm Safety & Health and NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, are designed to provide an engaging and dynamic education to help Spanish-speaking applicators prepare for the Private Pesticide Applicator Exam in Spanish.
