| Pesticide Private Applicator ReCertification Cost: Free |
Recertification training provides applicators with new information on pest control, health and environmental safety, pest management technology, and changes in pesticide laws and regulations to help the applicator continue to use pesticides safely and effectively. This training meets the two hours of pest or pesticide related topics as determined by MDA and UME. Following completion of this recertification session UME will provide MDA with verification of attendance for each individual seeking recertification credit. Upon receiving the verification of attendance, MDA will update each private applicator's training records. Renewal information is issued in late November to applicators that have satisfied the training requirements and whose private applicator certificates are about to expire. Note: this training does not meet requirements for Commercial Pesticide Applicator ReCertification. Please contact MDA for a list of training opportunities. | https://umeagfs.teachable.com/p/private-pesticide-applicator-recertification |
