Maryland Online CoursesRecertification
Maryland requires all certified applicators (including out-of-state applicators who were certified based on reciprocity) to attend re-certification training each year in order to renew their certificate. The training does not have to be held in Maryland. In order for an individual to become re-certified, they must obtain the following credits on an annual basis:
Categories 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 13 must receive eight credits;
Categories 2, 5 and 6 must receive six credits;
Categories 4 and 11 must receive 4 credits once every three years;
Category 10 and 12 must attend recertification training that pertains to the area of their work.
All other categories are determined on a case by case basis (1 credit is equal to ½ hour of training).
NOTE: You only have to recertify in one category to receive credit across all categories held.
