IIMPORTANT NOTICES
1. Duplicate Course Credits
In most jurisdictions, pesticide applicators may not receive credit for taking the same exact course more than once during a single recertification cycle.
Because the course content remains consistent, repeat attendance may not be considered new training, and additional credits may not be granted.
2. Attendance, Identification & Equipment Requirements
All attendees are required to submit
(1) a photo of a valid government-issued photo ID and (2) a current selfie at the start of class for identity verification. Attendees seeking
recertification credits
must also submit a photo of their
current state-issued pesticide applicator license for each state in which they are requesting credits.
Attendees must also remain on camera for the entire webinar and are responsible for having properly functioning equipment and a reliable internet connection.
Late arrivals will not receive credit and are not eligible for a refund.
