For the best viewing experience, we recommend using the following browsers: Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. For attendees viewing on Internet Explorer 11, you may experience lags in streaming.

Certification Training
There will be no certification training program offered this year.  Certification training is primarily preperation for taking the examination.

Recertification Training
Licensed applicators must pass an exam and participate in continuing education courses on environmentally sound uses of pesticides. At the current time, commercial applicators are re-licensed on a three-year cycle. University Extension will provides multiple online Recertification Trainings during the January dates listed below.  To allow flexibility in scheduling, each category will be offered at least twice. You are registering for a full day of training.
