The private applicators in attendance need to provide their signature, printed name, private applicator permit number, and social security number on attendance sheets. The entire program must be attended in order to receive credit toward recertification. Some programs may have additional fees to cover a meal, etc. The fee can be paid by the applicator or by a sponsoring organization. Private applicators should retain their receipt for their records as proof of their attendance.
Private applicators receive credit for no more than two pesticide recertification programs a year.
The program year is January 1 through December 31. Private Applicator Records OISC maintains a database of private pesticide applicators. A private applicator record contains a permit number, address, permit expiration date, and dates of attended pesticide recertification programs. Only private applicators can access their record from the PARP website. Extension educators can access a list of names of the private applicators in their county.
