  • Nebraska Dept. of Agriculture Pesticide Test Dates
    The NDA schedules walk-in "Testing Only" sessions for commercial/noncommercial licenses at several locations in Nebraska once the University’s pesticide safety education classes are completed in late spring. Individuals that are seeking a pesticide license without taking a class may take their examinations at these dates and locations. There are no fees to take the NDA pesticide licensing exams. Once exams are passed, the NDA charges $90 for a commercial pesticide license. There is no pesticide license fee for non-commercial pesticide licenses.
