Passing the Laws and Safety test qualifies an individual for the Pesticide Apprentice license. This license is required of individuals who are employed by a Commercial Pesticide Operator or public agency and who apply pesticides under the direct supervision of a properly licensed Commercial or Public Pesticide Applicator (supervising applicator). This license must also be held by individuals who apply restricted-use pesticides to non-agricultural property under the supervision of a properly licensed individual who controls the property (i.e., privately owned golf courses, industrial properties, etc.). The categories held by the apprentice are limited to those held by the supervising applicator, and must correspond to the application work being conducted.
