    The NDA schedules walk-in "Testing Only" sessions at several locations in Nebraska once the University’s pesticide safety eduation 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.

    Exams may also be taken at the NDA’s Lincoln office, 14th and M St., 4th Floor, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays by appointment.  Call (402) 471-2394 or 877-800-4080 to schedule exams at the NDA office.

    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.
