The CCA Pre-Test Training Session, sponsored by UW-Extension,  Wisconsin Fertilizer and Chemical Association and the IPM Program will be offered at the Crowne Plaza, Madison on December 14-15, 2006.  This training session is designed to help participants understand the principles necessary to become a quality crop advisor and to assist in preparation for the state CCA exam.  It is not a crash course designed to cover specific information necessary to pass the state CCA exam.  However, it will cover some of the state performance objectives and will assist students by giving better direction for independent study. 

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.  The fee is $150/person and which covers the cost of instruction, lunches, handouts and other costs associated with the course.  Because handouts must be ordered and/or printed in sufficient quantities, registration by November 30 will be appreciated.  Registrations after the November 30 deadline will be subject to materials on hand and we cannot guarantee handout availability.  To register, make checks payable to WFCA (sorry credit cards cannot be accepted).  Include your name, company affiliation, address, daytime phone number and email address.  Send registration information and check to Bryan Jensen, Dept. of Entomology, 1630 Linden Dr., Madison, WI  53706.  For more information please contact Bryan Jensen at (608) 263-4073, email bmjense1@facstaff.wisc.edu
