Understanding Michigan CEU and Applicator Certification Requirements
The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development oversees pesticide applicator certification, registration, and recertification. Applicators may renew their credentials by passing the required examinations or earning credits through approved recertification seminars. Credits must match the credential's categories and be earned before the credential expires.
Michigan Recertification Credit Requirements
Credential type Credits required for renewal
Private applicator 16 credits for the private core
Commercial or registered applicator 8 credits for the commercial core
Each additional commercial category 8 credits per category
For example, a commercial applicator with the commercial core and two additional categories needs 24 credits in total: 8 core credits and 8 for each category. Credits do not carry over to the next certification period.
Michigan credentials generally remain valid for three years and expire on December 31 of the third year. The required certification or registration type depends on the pesticide use and the work being performed.
