Upcoming Commercial Pesticide Applicator Training
Date: November 12-14, 2019 in Salina, KS – Webster Conference Center
Website: https://conferences.k-state.edu/commercialpesticide/
ALL commercial certified pesticide applicators are required to accumulate credit hours if re-certifying through training.
In Kansas, there are two ways to receive training for renewal certification: 1) study a manual and pass an examination and 2) attend training courses approved by the Kansas Secretary of Agriculture for required re-certification credit hour (CEU) accumulation. All applicators must now accumulate the necessary credit hours required for the appropriate category/subcategory in which they are certified. If you have not accumulated the required number of credit hours (1 core hour and either 3, 5 or 7 pest management hours) and paid the certification fee ($50 per category certified in) to the Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) by the expiration of your current certification, you must re-exam to obtain certification.
