Review for the Core and O&T pesticide exams
About this Event

Pesticide licensing in Florida can be confusing, and it may be difficult to determine which license/certification you need and how to obtain it. Read more about the Ornamental & Turf license to make sure it applies to you.

The O&T certification is for professionals who apply pesticides to lawns and ornamentals in parks, golf courses, athletic fields, and cemeteries. To obtain this license, pesticide applicators must pass both the Core General Standards Exam and the Ornamental and Turfgrass category exam.

For more information on this license, read the blog listed below.

This class provides a review to prepare for both the Core and O&T exams and provides CEUs to existing license-holders.

This review will cover the following:
