Delaware Pesticide Applicator CEU and Recertification Requirements
The Delaware Department of Agriculture oversees pesticide applicator certification and recertification. The required credits depend on whether the applicator holds a private or commercial certification and which categories they maintain.
According to DDA, private applicators need 3 continuing education credits every three years. Commercial applicators renew annually, with recertification credit requirements calculated for each applicable category over a three-year cycle. For example, the listed requirements are 8 credits for Category 03 (Ornamental and Turf), 18 for Category 7A (General Pest Control), and 18 for Category 7B (Wood Destroying Pest Control).
Pest Pro University's published Delaware listing for its Service Technicians course shows:
● Category 03 – Ornamental and Turf: 1 credit
● Category 7A – General Pest Control: 5 credits
● Category 7B – Wood Destroying Pest Control: 2 credits
● Total listed: 8 credits
These credits should not be treated as automatically satisfying all Delaware renewal requirements. In particular, the listed credits are less than the full three-year credit requirements for Categories 03, 7A, and 7B. Before enrolling, professionals seeking Delaware pesticide applicator training should check:
● Category eligibility: Confirm that the course credits apply to the category you maintain.
● Remaining credits: Review your DDA record to determine how many credits you still need.
● Course approval: Verify the course's current approval status with DDA before relying on it for recertification.
● Completion documentation: Confirm what certificates or records are provided and how to retain or submit them.
For current requirements and approved training opportunities, visit the Delaware Department of Agriculture's pesticide application recertification page and its applicator information page.
