    8 V.S.A. 4803 sets one qualification for every Vermont license in this family and it has two halves. The first is fixed: at least eighteen, competent, trustworthy and financially responsible in the Commissioner's judgment, and a written examination passed. The second is the experience requirement, and it is satisfiable three ways, which is why this page shows options rather than a single bar. The middle option is training and it is not a course requirement. Vermont sets no hours, approves no provider in advance and publishes no register; it asks somebody relying on training to submit a detailed description of it, syllabi, curriculum and training material included, and judges it after the fact. Nothing sold as pre-licensing education satisfies it by being bought. The examination limb is the part that differs: Vermont asks for a proficiency examination approved by the Federal Risk Management Agency rather than a Vermont paper, and a non-resident faxes proof of having passed it to the Department. That is the same federal credential Delaware, Kentucky, Tennessee and Michigan accept for their crop lines, and it means a reader looking for Vermont crop preparation is looking for a federal program rather than a state one.

No national seller sells a course for this license. There is no Vermont paper to prepare for: the examination is a proficiency test approved by the Federal Risk Management Agency, which is a federal program no insurance seller here runs.
