I have worked for the Department of Fish and Game in their Pesticide Investigation unit, as an Environmental Lab Tech and finally as an industrial Lab tech. I also have a BS degree in Environmental Toxicology
I want to change my career and work in Integrated Pest Management. Can I make the change by getting a certificate in IPM? Or is their any special training, or classes that I should take?
I would appreciate any advice you might have.
Regards,
Kris
