Recertification
Licensed pesticide applicators in Oregon are required to maintain their certification through ongoing training. The Oregon Department of Agriculture oversees this process, offering two pathways for recertification: passing a re-examination or completing approved continuing education courses.
Oregon State University plays a key role in supporting applicators by connecting them with the deep expertise of the College of Agricultural Sciences. Together, we are committed to protecting human health and the environment by providing high-quality, science-based pesticide safety education that is both engaging and effective.
