Collapse ▲The spring 2026 Pesticide Safety Schools are for those seeking initial licensing in one or more pesticide subcategories. To register for a Pesticide Safety School, please go online.
To prepare for the class and exams more thoroughly, participants are encouraged to pre-order their pesticide manuals well in advance of the school by visiting the Pesticide Safety Education page. Please allow 7-10 business days for the manuals to arrive and read them before attending a Pesticide Safety School. Any questions about obtaining a license can be directed to the Pesticide Safety Education Program by emailing pesticide-edu@ncsu.edu or calling 919-515-3113.
