2020 Ohio Online Commercial Recertification
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have partnered with the Ohio Department of Agriculture to temporarily provide online credits for Ohio commercial pesticide applicators who need recertification hours for the 2020 deadline. Due to Ohio's State of Emergency, the deadline for commercial recertification credits has been moved to 90 days after the State of Emergency ends, or December 1 - whichever comes first. This course will be available until that deadline.
