Although these personnel will not receive certification , they may assist the MDR in applying pesticides, when directly supervised by certified personnel. Classroom training is conducted under the supervision of a Navy Medical Entomologist currently certified as a DoD Pesticide Applicator in Category 8. A written examination with a minimum passing score of at least 70 percent must be achieved. The requirement for field training aboard a vessel should be completed no later than 1-week after the classroom phase. A certificate of completion will not be issued until both phases of training are completed.
