CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT OPTIONS

Due to the current restrictions on public gatherings because of COVID-19, there are now online options to earn pesticide continuing education credit.

N.C. Cooperative Extension now has the option to host live online classes for pesticide credit. A webcam or smartphone with camera is required for attendance. These classes are open to all applicators and can be found by searching “online” in the Approved Continuing Education Courses calendar or by contacting your local Cooperative Extension office. Online classes will have “Online” listed as their address and city. See the course calendar listing for approved pesticide credits and fee information.

If your certification date is 6/30/2020, 5 self-paced online training opportunities are available for a limited time. These online trainings are NOT an option and you will NOT receive credit if your certification date is anything other than 6/30/2020. These classes cannot be repeated for additional credit. Cost: $15/each. Each class will earn 1 hour of pesticide credit in the following categories: A, B, D, G, H, K, I, L, M, O, N, T, and X. REMINDER: In order to recertify, your credits cannot all be earned in the same calendar year.
