Initial and Recertification Chemigation Information

If you plan to chemigate during 2023, you will need to attend a training session and pass a test to become certified/recertified or you will need to do the training and testing online. Requirements for initial and recertification are the same, come to a face-to-face meeting to become certified or opt for the online version of the training and testing program. There is no fee for either option, the online training program along with directions can be accessed at: http://go.unl.edu/chemigation

If you wish to attend an in-person training, please register with the office of the Educator for the training session you plan to attend. When you pre-register, you can ask to receive the training manual and calibration workbook to review prior to the training session if you want to study in advance or view the digital versions online (http://go.unl.edu/chemigation). If you do not ask to have the training materials and calibration workbook sent to you, the copies will be given to you on the day of the training.

On the day of the training session, please bring your Chemigation Training Manual, Calibration Workbook, No. 2 pencil, and calculator (you are NOT allowed to use your cell phone as a calculator) along to use during the training and testing. Cell phones are to be turned off during testing. Training and testing will take approximately 2.5 - 3 hours.

You must attend the entire class and pass the 50-question multiple choice test to be certified. Upon successful completion of the class, chemigators may renew individual injection site permits administered by the local NRD office before June 1st.

A list of area training opportunities are below. Pre-registration allows us to notify you if the training session is postponed. To register or for questions do not hesitate to call the Extension Educator contact for the meeting you would like to attend.
