The laws of the state of
Oklahoma provide for the licensing of three (3) types of pesticide applicators.
These are:
- COMMERCIAL APPLICATORS
- NON-COMMERCIAL APPLICATORS
- PRIVATE APPLICATORS
In order to maintain an applicator's license, an applicator must be recertified
every five (5) years. Recertification may be accomplished in two ways:
- Taking and passing an examination.
- Earning a specified number of Board approved Continuing Education Units
(CEUs).
CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS
It should be noted that:
- One Continuing Education Unit (CEU) will equal about one (1) hour of educational
instructions.
- No more than one-half (1/2) of the total CEUs required will be accepted
in any one (1) year.
- CEUs must be obtained in at least three (3) of the five (5) year recertification
period.
- A CEU may be credited to more than one (1) category if it is approved in
that(those) category(s).
- An applicator can not receive additional credit(s) for attending the same
meeting twice.
The following courses and appropriate CEU credits have
