Who qualifies to attend and receive recertification credit?
Private pesticide applicators whose certification expires in 2026 can attend one of the field days to fulfill their recertification requirement.
Attending a field day in 2025 allows eligible applicators to avoid attending a workshop or taking the exam in January or February 2026.
If your certification expires in a different year, contact Tana Haugen-Brown at [email protected] or 763-260-4423 to confirm eligibility for recertification credit.
NOTE: New applicators or applicators with expired licenses are required to take the exam to certify.
