Recertification Courses

Need credits?

This season, we are planning 14 webinars and 6 in-person events*. Each course features a variety of speakers from industry, academia, and government. Our recertification training events are focused on the proper use of pesticides, which includes Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

We work closely with the Oregon Department of Agriculture to ensure our content is up-to-date and relevant. We invite our participants to take a leadership role, and help us build engaging agendas. If you have a topic you'd like covered, let us know!
