Lawn and Garden Domestic Pesticide Dispenser Certification
All Alberta sales outlets selling Domestic Class Lawn and Garden Pesticides must employ a Certified Pesticide Dispenser. Lawn and Garden Pesticide Dispenser Certification ensures that consumers have access to correct information regarding pest control and that someone at each retail outlet has knowledge of pesticide sales regulations and safety requirements. Certificate holders will not be pest control experts, but will be familiar with pesticides, pesticide safety, provincial regulations and provincial reference materials.
There are three ways to get your certification. We offer a home study course, tutorials in two locations, or custom on-site training.
Home Study
The Lawn and Garden Pesticide Dispenser Homestudy Course is available at any time throughout the year allowing you to study the course at a time convenient to you in the comfort of your home and to write the certification exam at a location close to home.
Registration Information
Fee: $80.25 ($75 GST exempt + $5 shipping + GST )
Tutorial (7.5 hours)
Spend the day with an Olds College instructor or industry expert studying pesticide labels; pest control and management; and legislation and safety requirements. The certification exam is written at the end of the tutorial.
It is strongly recommended that you review the Lawn and Garden Pesticide Dispenser Manual prior to attending the tutorial. The Manual will be mailed to individuals registering a minimum of two weeks prior to the tutorial. Bring the Manual with you to the tutorial. For registrations received less than two weeks prior to the course, the Lawn and Garden Pesticide Dispenser Manual will be given out at the tutorial.
