2013 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.

All Workshops Include Category A: Core

Many more workshops are planned and 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.
