Generally, this is done through delegation of the program to a state lead agency, whereby applicators are required to pass a core exam, followed by a category exam.

In order to promote consistency in training throughout the country, the EPA is committed to developing training materials on fumigation to be distributed to the states for use in their certification and training programs. General Scope of Work EPA seeks support in developing training materials/programs to ensure competent applicators are certified to use fumigants. The purpose of this contract is to support the Environmental Protection Agency in the evaluation of existing training materials, the development of a job analysis, and the production of a training manual, PowerPoint training tool and video/DVD for pesticide applicators seeking initial certification to apply pesticides in any medium save soil.
