Pesticide Applicator Exam Testing Centers Available

Spring is just around the corner, and the busy season for taking exams is here. BPC staff want to remind you that you can now take exams at five testing centers throughout Maine. Testing centers are located in South Portland, Fairfield, Bangor, Farmington, and Presque Isle. The Board of Pesticides Control is in the process of adding additional testing centers this coming year.

To sign up for exams at a testing center, you or your company need to create a profile on the BPC portal. Instructions to sign up for the portal.

Once logged into the portal, you can schedule your testing center exam by following these instructions.

Please remember, if you have any problems signing up to use the portal or to register for an exam, call (207) 287-2731 or email the BPC at pesticides@maine.gov.

There are numerous advantages to using the testing centers:

• There is no wait to schedule an exam,

• you will get your results immediately after you submit your exam,
• you take the exam on a computer, and

Remember, the label is the law! Stay safe.
