How The Pesticide Recertification Program Works
#1. Obtain and complete recertification form. As you enter the educational session (you must be on time) obtain an Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) Pesticide Recertification Form from the room monitor or handout table. This form must be completed for each pesticide certification session you attend. Note: All attendees requesting recertification credits must complete this form, even if you are not seeking credits from the state of Ohio.
#2 Obtain session code. At the end of the session the Session Code will be announced. This code must be written on the ODA form, near the bottom under the Session Codes area.
#3 Return completed form and get certificate. At the completion of the session return your completed ODA Pesticide Recertifcation Form to a room monitor and present a valid ID (ie drivers license). You will receive a Certificate of Attendance to retain for your records. Attendees from self-reporting states (ex: Maine, Connecticut) should submit the Certificate of Attendance to their state's licensing agency.
