How often must licensed applicators update their certification?

Licensed applicators are required to update their certification every two years to ensure they remain informed about the latest practices, regulations, and advancements in pest management and agricultural safety. This two-year cycle helps to maintain a high standard of proficiency among applicators and ensures that they are aware of any changes in laws or techniques that may impact their work. Regular updates also promote continuing education, allowing applicators to refresh their knowledge and skills, which ultimately benefits public health and environmental safety. This requirement is set forth by regulatory authorities to uphold the industry's standards and safeguard both the applicators and the community they serve.
