PSEP is hard at work developing a brand new program to assist individuals preparing to become a licensed pesticide applicator. This program will be offered as face-to-face workshops throughout the state (dependent on COVID-19 status throughout Oregon) and as a self-paced online program. YOU choose the format that best suits your needs! Visit our Pre-Licensing/Certification page for updates on this new program as well as licensing resources available through the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
The Oregon Department of Agriculture has detailed information available on the licenses available in Oregon and the activities allowed under each. Still not sure? Email us at [email protected] with questions! Give us some details on your situation and we can help you decide which license best fits your needs.
Yes! After registering for an event, you will receive a reminder email the day before each event that includes a link to the webinar. When you click that link a new window will open where you will be prompted to either downland the app or join from your browser. Simply click "Join from your browser" and follow the instructions to log in to the webinar.
This is a workaround for participants who are unable to download, install, or run applications, however the meeting experience from the browser is limited. Whenever possible, downloading the Zoom app is highly recommended for the best possible experience.
You can find the details of all of our scheduled events including dates, times, and agendas on our Live Webinar and In-person Recertification web page. Click the course title to view the details. Visit this page often! We are adding new events and updating agendas throughout the year.
Your username for the online course portal will be the email you used to register with. If you are unable to remember your password, please contact Professional and Continuing Education directly at [email protected] to recover your password, as they manage our online course system.
We currently offer 13 online courses. Visit our Online Courses page for details.
Online courses are always inherently more costly because a lot more goes into the development and accessibility of the course. Software licensing, continuous maintenance, and on-demand user access all contribute to the costs that we have to set for the online trainings. We hope that you will find the value in our online course offerings by having the added convenience of completing the training at your convenience without time constraints or travel. You will also retain access to the course through the rest of the year, should you ever need to go back and review, another added bonus!
Credits are given regardless of course topics, so taking classes outside of your specialty is always a great opportunity to learn new things! Make sure to check if the credits you need are CORE first, as the class you are looking at may not qualify. Visit our Live Webinars and In-Person Recertification page for agendas and credits for each event.
Each event listed on our Live Webinar and In-Person Recertification web page includes the number of CORE credits available for each session.
You can check your certification credits on the Oregon Department of Agriculture's "Check Your Credits" website. Enter your license number to view your credits earned, recertification events attended, how many CORE credits you have earned and more.
It can take up to 2 months for your credits to appear on your report. We submit the attendance sheets for PSEP events within 15 days and it can take up to another 45 days for the Oregon Department of Agriculture to process them.

The most common reason for receiving a timed out message during the registration process is using Internet Explorer as a web browser. Microsoft no longer supports or updates Internet Explorer, and the security protocols in our store do not recognize the browser as a secure application. We recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox when registering for our courses.
Refunds will only be issued for individual cancellations made two weeks (14 days) prior to the event. You must submit a written request to [email protected]. Please include your name, applicator license number, and the name of event in your email request.
Oregon State University's Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP) reserves the right to cancel events for any reason, including inclement weather. If/when PSEP cancels the event, PSEP will notify participants via email (email provided for registration) at least 12 hours in advance, and partial refunds may or may not be issued.
