As of January 1, 2025, commercial applicators, noncommercial applicators, public operators and pesticide technicians must recertify/retrain in the CORE plus ALL licensed categories (instead of the most-used category) by the recertification/retraining date listed on their license. Recertification through examination will still require the CORE exam plus all licensed category exams.
The 2027 MU Extension Recertification Training program will provide both virtual and in-person learning opportunities.
