In need of pesticide applicator training in Spanish?
The long and short of it is that if you need to get a pesticide license, you must be able to read a pesticide label and at this time, although labels may be available in languages other than English, they are not required to be.
Exams are in English only.
Take a look at some resources for Spanish speakers looking to pass pesticide exams in English here.
