New York, Vermont, Maryland

This site is the home to on-line pesticide applicator courses produced by Cornell Cooperative Extension. Each one qualifies for New York, Maryland and Vermont recertification credits.

A partnership between PMEP and the NYS IPM program is an essential element in creating the courses. The creation of this site was made possible through grants from the US-EPA Pesticide Stewardship program and the USDA Smith Lever funds.

Core courses are based on the core applicator curriculum found in the Core manual. Credits from these can be used by all certified applicators for their recertification.

Category courses contain information for specific certification categories such as Private vegetable farmers or Commercial Ag and Plant applicators. You need to be sure your certification category is included in the list of approved categories for these courses.

These courses adhere to New York State regulations (6 NYCRR 325.18) and have been approved by the Department of Environmental Conservation. Therefore, when you take an on-line recertification course, you must follow the same rules (described below) as you would when you attend live recertification training.

  1. We will check the amount of time spent before sending your official certificate.  If you complete the course in under the required time, you forfeit your purchase and will not receive credits.
  2. The applicator earning credits must be the one taking and completing the course. Anyone using a substitute course taker is committing fraud and will forfeit their course fee and will not receive credits.
  3. A particular course may not be repeated in a recertification cycle. There are no limits on the number of different courses you can select. Maximum hours of training is 7 per day.
