2011 Recertification Workshops

Commercial, Noncommercial & Structural

To recertify, for each category, you must either attend a recertification workshop or retake the 'new applicator' closed-book monitored exam. ( Correspondence course option was discontinued after 2007.)

All Workshops Include Category A: Core

Workshops are listed only after details are finalized.

All workshops are now listed for the rest of the year. Note, due to very low numbers, there will be no recertification workshops this year for the following categories

I: Antimicrobial
K: Livestock
Q: Wood Preservatives
R: Sewer Root

Retesting with the MN Dept. of Ag for recertification is an alternative to attending an approved workshop for all license categories. The MN Dept. of Ag charges a per category fee when retesting is used for recertification. For information on scheduling retesting for Recertification click here.
