This online recertification course is only for Private and Commercial Fertilizer Certificate holders whose license expired in 2020 and were unable to recertify as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

You will need your pesticde license number or fertilizer applicator ID number to complete this online course. 

Please call the Ohio Department of Agriculture at 614-728-6987 if you don't know your applicator ID number. 

The completion of this one hour program in its entirety will be required for all Private and Commercial Fertilizer certificate holders who still need credit, regardless of the number of credit hours already obtained.  This training course includes a series of self-paced videos in which a green check mark will appear once you have completed each video.   You can click "Home" at any time to return to the list of categories/videos. 

  • Private or Commercial Pesticide Recertification is available as a separate course

The deadline to recertify is  90 days after the state of emergency Executive Order ends or December 1, 2020, whichever comes first.  You may return to this course multiple times to work at your own pace, but the course must be completed by the deadline.
