Pesticide Continued Training

Basis of Course
The statute that regulates pesticide handling and usage, KRS217B, has recently been amended. One effect the amended law has on local and state government is that every licensed non-commercial pesticide applicator must obtain twelve hours of continuing education units in three years. Nine of those training hours are to be general and three are to be specific to each category. If you are not a licensed applicator but would like to become one please Click Here.

Every year, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture will mail a license renewal form to each certified applicator at his/her home address. This form must be filled out and returned to renew the applicator license. As long as the applicator maintains his/her certification with continuing education his/her license can be renewed. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture will track each applicator’s training hours.

What We Offer

In keeping with the newly amended legislation, The Kentucky Transportation Center has developed a new one-day Pesticide Continued Training Course that has been approved by the Department of Agriculture to accommodate Category 6 (Right-of-Way Pest Control) licensed applicators. Each participant who completes the Center’s Pesticide Continued Training II course will qualify for four general training hours and two specific training hours toward category 6. Each year the Kentucky Transportation Center will develop a new Pesticide Continued Training Course to provide the required training hours.

Who Should Attend
This class is for any public employee who is licensed and certified in Category 6 Pesticide Application (Right-of-Way Pest Control).
