- CEPEP trains pesticide applicators and employers throughout Colorado in both private and commercial categories. We also train workers/handlers and agricultural employers on EPA's Worker Protection Standard.
- We maintain and revise pesticide applicator study guides for those preparing to take their certification exams. Order Colorado Pesticide Applicator Study Guides
- We provide an up-to-date index of upcoming continuing education credits for pesticide applicator recertification.
