Pesticide Private Applicator Training

 Initial training for new applicators and recertification for expiring applicators. 

All pesticide certifications must be recertified or renewed every three years. A certificate expires on the first day of April, two years from the year of issuance.

Two methods can recertify private applicators. One approach is to attend a recertification training when a category is up for renewal. The next option is to retest in the expired category and pass a monitored exam(s) at your local NDSU County Extension office.
