Annual Renewal happens each calendar year, the license period is from the day the license was issued until December 31 of that year, listed on the license card as "valid" dates. Once the annual renewal is complete MDA will generate a new license card with valid dates. If you fail to complete your annual renewal, you are no longer licensed as a pesticide applicator.
Recertification requires that you attend a MDA approved workshop before the "attend workshop by" date listed on your license card. Recertification cycles are extended after attending MDA approved workshops that correlate to categories that the applicator holds a license.
If you fail to recertify by attending a workshop before the "attend workshop by" date, to ensure that you have the required competencies for a license you will be required to take and receive a passing score in the category before a license card will be issued during the next annual renewal period.
You will be required to attend a workshop in the following year after being issued a license. At this time, you will begin the cycle based on license categories. See the recertification workshop table for license category cycle information.
If a license holder is due for a recertification for categories A & E in one year and category L in the following year, they would need to attend a workshop for A, E, and L in the same year that A & E are due for recertification. This will sync the categories to be due for recertification on the same schedule. Workshops can be attended a year prior to the required year for credit.
Yes, you can attend workshops early, the cycle will start from the year in which the workshop was attended.
No, workshops cannot be attended after the required year. Applicators that fail to attend workshops during this period will be required to retest to renew their license in the following year.
You will need to retest and receive a passing score in those categories prior to renewing your license. A retest fee comparable to the recertification fee collected by workshop sponsors will be collected by MDA at the time of renewal.
