Course Sponsor Information
New York State regulations (6 NYCRR 325.18) require that pesticide training courses be approved by the Department prior to the course being offered. No retroactive approvals are permitted.
As required by 6 NYCRR 325.18(b), individuals conducting certification and recertification training courses must have appropriate credentials recognized by the department or have at least three years of verifiable experience as a certified pesticide applicator. Acceptable credentials for individuals wishing to conduct certification and recertification courses include academic credits in courses which are to be covered by such training courses. The department may determine that individuals with a previous enforcement record may not be eligible to conduct certification and recertification courses.
