## Questions

### Does this certificate authorise pesticide work?

No. It is a certificate of completion from pesttreatment.fyi, not a licence, accreditation or qualification. This is a buyer course, not a trade licensing course.

### Does this course give local legal or price advice?

No. Ask your local pesticide authority about requirements and obtain site-specific quotes from providers. The lessons use US EPA guidance and do not supply universal prices or legal requirements.
