To maintain pesticide certification in Pennsylvania, applicators must obtain updated training during three-year intervals by accumulating PDA-approved recertification credits. Regardless of the category of certification, each applicator must accumulate six core credits. The number of category-specific credits required for recertification varies from category to category. Specific requirements are listed below.
* For private applicators with fumigation certification, two of the required six category credits must be specific to fumigation.
