2012 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

More workshops will be listed after their details are finalized.

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.
