WPS Train the Trainer Refresher

This year WSDA will be partnering with the Washington State Tree Fruit Association to offer a Train the Trainer (TTT) workshop for the 2026 training season. This 4-hour, highly interactive course is designed to help instructors review the Worker Protection Standard, improve their understanding of this regulation and be better able to communicate the training points to their workers and handlers. We encourage all WSDA certified trainers to take this course every 3 years to ensure that their presentation skills and knowledge about the Worker Protection Standard is up to date.

Course Information


PARTICIPANTS 
All individuals who obtained their WSDA WPS-Certified Trainer certification, must complete a TtT Refresher course every three years to continue issuing WSDA worker and handler cards. The WSDA WPS-Certified Trainer certification can also be renewed by re-taking the full 2-day TtT course and re-certifying as a WSDA WPS-Certified Trainer. Certified trainers who have not taken a TtT Refresher since 2019 will need to retake the full 2-day TtT course
