The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is partnering with Pearson Vue to offer the pesticide applicator certification exam online.
The online exam includes a $45 convenience fee that is paid entirely to Pearson Vue. DATCP will continue to offer a paper exam at no charge.
Commercial and private pesticide applicators can take the online exam either in-person at one of 54 testing centers and tech colleges in Wisconsin, or proctored through a personal computer that includes a web-enabled camera and broadband internet.
Those who take the exam online will receive their results immediately, along with their certification by email 1-3 business days after the exam. Individuals who pass the exam (online or paper) receive a five-year certification.
