The training sessions listed on this page are for current commercial and noncommercial applicators who want to renew their existing pesticide license. Private applicators may attend a session that offers category 11 to renew their existing certification in that category. To attend a recertification training session, you must preregister online ahead of time.
Select a training session based on:
- location, and
- the applicator categories offered.
All recertification training sessions begin at 8:30 a.m. local time.
If you have questions about the registration process, please email us at pested@unl.edu.
