RE-Certification Information

Applicators may renew their certification either by successfully passing the required exam, or by completing at least 12 approved Continuing Education Units (CEUs). These activities must be completed prior to expiration of current certification.

Exams may be arranged either through the Cooperative Extension or the ADEC Pesticide Program.  CEUs are available through attendance at a variety of classes, conferences, and meetings, as well as some on-line courses. Contact the ADEC Pesticide Program  to get more information on approved CEUs.

Correspondence and home study training is also available on a limited basis. Certification may be obtained by completing the correspondence/home study course and successfully passing the required exam. In these cases, certification is valid for only one year, regardless of test score.

Please contact the ADEC Pesticide Program directly to obtain an application for correspondence and home study training. The Pesticide Program will send study materials after the application is complete and an official examination is scheduled.

There is an annual $25.00 DEC fee to maintain your certification, DEC will mail you an invoice for this fee.
