Mr. Benjamin Pitts, Georgia Department of Agriculture, will teach the class.

The recommended study materials to successfully complete the egg candling course include the Georgia Egg Law and the USDA Federal Egg-Grading Manual. Participants who successfully complete the class, which includes a written examination and a hands-on candling examination administered by GDA representatives, will be awarded an egg candling certificate.
