    Yes. Pest control businesses must register separately in addition to holding applicator licenses.

  • Do I really need credits if I am a Private Applicator?

    Yes. Private applicators (farmers) must earn 8 recertification credits every five years to maintain their certification without re-testing.

    “LearnPest continuing education courses are the BEST! This year I had to explore other companies who offer the required courses per the SPCB. I found LearnPest. I have been in business for 48+ years, and I have to say this was the least stressful of all. I would vouch for them 1000%. Thank you again, Caleb, you were so helpful.”
