Online Training Courses
Online certification preparation courses are available to purchasers of Virginia Pesticide Applicator Training Manuals (see below for available courses). Online preparation courses are not an acceptable substitute for having access to a physical copy of the manual; they only serve as supplementary study aids and may not encompass all tested content.

This course is designed to help you study for Virginia state pesticide applicator certification exams (Private Applicator, Commercial Applicator, Registered Technician, and Pesticide Business License) that are based off of the Virginia Core Manual - Applying Pesticides Correctly: A Guide for Private Applicators, Commercial Applicators, and Registered Technicians in Virginia.
