RECERTIFICATION
MTGF’s workshop is approved by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) as recertification training for categories A and E, Turf and Ornamentals.

In addition, the workshop is approved as recertification training for category F, Aquatics, for applicators who are also certified for E. Those wishing to recertify for category F must attend the entire program as well as the Aquatic session. Attending this workshop will enable you to renew your pesticide applicator license in 2009.

All questions regarding pesticide applicator recertification should be directed to the MDA.
