Private Applicator Training + Exam or Recertification

Join us on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, in the DHEC Training Room at the Greenville County Clemson Extension office for a Private Applicator Training, Private Pesticide Applicator exam, or recertification training.

Take this opportunity to learn how to apply pesticides safely and legally, test to be licensed to be a private applicator in South Carolina, or gain 3 CEUs if you are already a South Carolina licensed pesticide applicator.

Private applicator licenses are intended for agricultural producers who must purchase, use, or supervise the use of restricted-use pesticides in their operations. This training is not appropriate for homeowners or those seeking a commercial or noncommercial applicator's license.

Licensing exam will be administered immediately following the training (approximately 12:30 pm).

Participants must be present for the entire training to be eligible to take the licensing exam or sign for recertification credits.

Optional: Clemson Extension Horticulture Agent Drew Jeffers recommends that applicators purchase the "Applying Pesticides Correctly: A Guide for Private and Commercial Applicators" manual as study material for the exam.
