Recertification
Renew your certificate before it expires
It is up to the Applicator or Dispenser to be aware of their expiry date.
Once you have met the recertification requirements you can recertify your Applicator Certificate by completing the online application request.
To recertify your Dispenser certificate you must complete an online recertification course, this will be sent to you once you have completed your online application request.
If you don't renew, your service or vendor registration is automatically cancelled. Then you must stop all pesticide applicator activities until you have re-certified your certificate(s).
Credits are entered manually from the sign-in sheets at your event. The staff enter them in the order they are received. If you attended a conference with hundreds of attendees and/or multiple sessions, please allow time for the credits to be entered. If you are recertifying soon and have attended a session that is not appearing on your list of credits, you can let us know that when you are making the payment, there is a section specifically for that.
For Applicators you must renew each class of certificate you hold. You have two options:
- rewrite the exam
- earn continuing education credits
More information about these options is listed below.

A great place to start looking for sessions that offer continuing education credits is with an industry association that represents sprayers. You will find below a list of the various associations in Alberta, organized by certificate class. Another consideration is that some Alberta Colleges will offer sessions for continuing education credit in the spring (and sometimes fall), please reach out directly to those Colleges to ask about credit session opportunities.
