Important Information That You Should Read
and Understand: For classes that award pesticide recertification points for Alabama licenses,
please verify that the class you are attending awards points for the license(s) you have earned. For example, if you only
have an HPC license, you must attend a class approved for HPC points. However, if you have an HPC and an OTPS license, you
may earn points in either category and they will count for both. Remember,
you need to attend and participate in three (3) ten (10) point classes in a three year period. You may not take the same titled
class more than once in a three year period!If you
are not sure about the classes you have attended, or need to find out how many points you have earned, please see ---- Classes Approved for Pesticide
Recertification Points are as follows: Note: many classes are approved for adjoining states. Unless stated otherwise, classes are held at the AGITC in Pelham, Alabama. Please read carefully as many classes are repeated on other dates. Class schedule is arranged by title not date! -- ·
