Private pesticide applicators must attend a training program offered by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. TDA approves Extension and certain private entities to conduct private applicator training. 

Contact your county Texas A&M AgriLife Extension office for training opportunities. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension also offers the Texas Private Applicator Training Course online. You will find more information here.

A Training Verification form is given to those who complete the course to submit with their TDA Private Pesticide Applicator application form.
