Recertification is for all individuals who are certified as Private and/or Professional Pesticide Applicators, to ensure they maintain competency and keep current with changing technology. Licensed applicators can attend approved seminars to obtain credit in lieu of taking recertification exams.
*Upon completion of our courses, you can print out certificates immediately, and the certificate is also emailed. We also take care of all reporting on your behalf with IDA.
Credit Requirements: For Pest Control Applicators in Idaho, renewal is every 2 years by the expiration date of the current certification. All credits must be obtained by the last day of the expiring month and year date printed on the front of each license. All licenses require the applicator’s signature on the reverse side where stickers of the seminars can also be placed.
- Private Applicators are required to obtain stickers or certificates totaling six (6) hours of validated pesticide training during their licensing period.
- Professional Applicators are required to obtain stickers or certificates totaling fifteen (15) hours of validated pesticide training during their licensing period. The seminar sponsor issues the stickers at the completion of an approved pesticide seminar.
NOTE:
- First time licensees whose expiration date is less than 13 months from issue date are not required to obtain recertification points for this first license.
- The recertification period is concurrent with the licensing period. Credits can be earned once the license is issued / renewed and do not roll over into next licensing period.
- All licensees are encouraged to maintain a list of the dates and locations of the recertification seminars they attended or the specific recertification seminar number. This list will provide a back-up reference in case of loss of your pesticide license. CEU also keeps track of completion certificates indefinitely on your behalf.
Retesting/Recertification Exams: If an applicator chooses not to obtain recertification credits, the only alternative is to take the recertification exam(s) in all categories they wish to be licensed. Recertification exams can be taken within a year of the license expiring. Please contact one of the area investigators to register for testing.
