Empowering safe practices with comprehensive training
Agsafe’s training and education programs are designed to equip businesses in the agricultural chemical supply chain with the knowledge and skills required to safely manage agricultural and veterinary (AgVet) chemicals. Developed in alignment with federal and state regulations, our courses ensure participants receive up-to-date, relevant information to understand compliance, protect employees and customers, and safeguard the environment.
Agsafe’s structured training framework supports professionals at every stage, whether they are beginning their certification journey or maintaining it through ongoing learning. This framework is simple and effective, requiring participants to complete a major course every three years to stay certified, with additional training available to build knowledge and skills as needed.
How Agsafe certification works
Agsafe certification is a three-year cycle designed to ensure ongoing excellence in the safe storage, handling, and management of agricultural chemicals. The program ensures you remain up to date with best practices and compliance standards through a structured learning pathway.
Starting your training journey
To begin, participants complete one of Agsafe’s major courses, which form the foundation of certification. Certification is then maintained by completing a major course every three years.
Certification foundation: Major courses
AgVet Chemical Retailer Course
AgVet Manufacturer Stewardship Course
AgVet Chemical Distribution Centre Course
Chemical Masterclass (only available after completing a major course)
Over the three-year cycle, your team can also access specialised Deep Dive courses and a broad selection of Agsafe AgBytes — short, focused online modules. While these courses do not count towards certification requirements, they are an excellent way to strengthen technical expertise, improve on-site safety practices, and keep teams aligned with current industry standards and requirements.
