How many recertification credit hours do I need?
All private pesticide applicators must earn at least three recertification credit hours every three years. One hour must be earned by take on or more Core education classes, one half-hour of education in each Category on the license, and the remaining time requirement can be met by attending classes in any category. Commercial applicators must earn at least five recertification credit hours every three years.

How do I know how many credit hours I currently have?
You can check your recertification status by clicking here and entering your applicator ID number and last name.

How can I obtain recertification credits?
The following are opportunities for pesticide (Core, Category 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and fertilizer (Category 15) recertification in the five-county area. More meetings are listed at pested.osu.edu. Pre-registration is required at all locations. Call the respective county office to register. As a reminder, the $30 fee for your pesticide applicator license is a separate fee from the registration fee, and must be sent to the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
