Commercial Pesticide Applicator - Opportunities to Earn Credits
Commercial applicators may obtain recertification training credits any time during their active certification period. Commercial applicators have until December 31 of the year of expiration to earn credits. It is the commercial applicator’s responsibility to obtain the required credits.
The renewal period will open in October of the year of expiration. Commercial applicators with all required credits will have until January 30 to renew their certification with KDA. If certification is not renewed with KDA by January 30, renewal by examination will be required.
Credits may be viewed through the commercial applicator’s KDA Portal account.
