Applicator Recertification Requirements
PRIVATE APPLICATORS, COMMERCIAL APPLICATORS, and CERTIFIED PUBLIC APPLICATORS must meet the following recertification requirements in order to maintain certification:
- must attend approved training programs in order to accumulate recertification credits in CORE and appropriate CATEGORY-SPECIFIC topics at (3) year intervals.
- (6) core credits and up to (10) category credits for each category in which the applicator is certified
- (10) category specific credits are required for recertification under Demonstration and Research

One Continuing Education Unit (CEU) equals (2) credits of educational instruction.
A CEU may be credited to more than one (1) category if it is approved in that(those) category(s); however, an applicator can not receive credit for the same course
An applicator who does not meet recertification credit requirements by the expiration date will no longer be permitted to make pesticide applications until the license is reinstated. The applicator is allowed up to one year to reinstate the license by obtaining the necessary recertification credits and paying the appropriate fees. Should the certification be expired longer than one-year period, reexamination is required for recertification.
OnlinePestControlCourses.com is proud to work with the United States Department of Agriculture, West Virginia Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of West Virginia to provide APPROVED RECERTIFICATION COURSES for applicators.
