The Train the Trainer Refresher course is designed for WSDA Certified Trainers; however, non-trainers can also attend the class to learn about how to become a WPS trainer and get the most updated information about WPS. In this class, attendees will receive information on the main points of Worker Protection Standard, they will also participate in exercises related to training methodologies. We will offer four (4) Pesticide Recertification Credits during each class.
