QAC before they can use or supervise the use of restricted use pesticides/ restricted

responsible person for a licensed PCB, except as noted below. This certificate is
typically used by those that work for a business but are not the designated qualified
person, or used by individuals that work for their employer on their employer's property
(e.g. school district employees, county maintenance personnel).
Minimum Requirements—QAC Break Down - ANSWER- Applicants must pass the core
examination on "Laws, Regulations and Basic Principles" and at least one pest control

control that will be conducted must fall under the scope of the pest control category.

Subcategory Q are not authorized to purchase, apply, or supervise the application of
restricted materials and are only allowed incidental use of pesticides. In order to
purchase, apply, or supervise the use of restricted materials in a maintenance
, gardening setting, the qualified individual must possess a valid QAC in the Landscape

period. The following exceptions to the 20 hour CE requirements apply to a QAC holder
