OABA & OSU EXTENSION TEAM TO OFFER GRAIN FUMIGATION WORKSHOP

December 1 & 2, 2004 at ODA in Reynoldsburg

Here is an excellent opportunity for individuals wanting to become licensed in fumigation (category 10C), to receive training prior to taking the exam. OABA and OSU Extension have put together a day and half program designed to help individuals prepare for the fumigation certification exam by offering both CORE and fumigation training. It is also a great way for individual already certified in a different category to add fumigation to their license.

To be licensed an individual must pass, or have passed the CORE exam along with the fumigation exam. The first day offers CORE training plus training for stored grain pest, fumigation and equipment safety. The second day offers fumigation specific training. This part of the program is approved for 10C recertification credits for those already holding a fumigation license.

The fumigation exam is one of the more difficult exams, so we encourage those wanting to take the exam to also spend time studying the Fumigation Study Guide prior to the exam. Anyone registering for this workshop with the intension of taking the exam will receive study materials.

Watch your mail for registration materials, or visit www.oaba.net and click on the "Calendar" tab for more information and on-line registration. Valuable opportunities to receive fumigation training are far and few between so don't miss this program.
