How do I keep my certification?
To maintain pesticide certification, applicators must accumulate update training at three year intervals for which recertification credits have been approved. Regardless of the category of certification, each applicator must accumulate six core credits. The number of category specific credits required for recertification varies from category to category. Specific requirements are listed at Pennsylvania Pesticide Applicator Certification web page. Private applicators need six category credits from any of the following categories: 1-9, and 22. In addition, for private applicators with fumigation certification, two of the six category credits must be specific to fumigation.
