The exam consists of questions related to vertebrate pest control, insects, IPM principles and laws and regulations. The fee includes one retest. The exam is given each year in conjunction with Midwest PestCon.

Note: This registration form is for people who only want to take the exam. If you plan to attend the entire Conference (including the exam), register here instead.

The WPCA Master Tech program is sponsored by WPCA in cooperation with the Insect Diagnostic Laboratory at UW-Madison, and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
