PLEASE NOTE: This course is for those taking the paraquat training for the first time or renewing their paraquat training within the 2022-2025 period.
Those that were certified using a previous version do not need to take this course until their current certification expires – 3 years from the date on your certificate. Once you take this course and receive 100% on the assessment, you will receive a new certificate for another 3-year period.
Paraquat product labels require applicators to take an EPA-approved training every 3 years in order to mix, load, apply, or handle paraquat. This online course reinforces how to properly and safely use paraquat.
You should expect to spend about 60 minutes on the course and the assessment quiz.
