Show CE rules
No continuing education credits are required to renew a junior operator certificate. Instead, the operator must complete re-certification training (for example the PERC "Pesticide Safety Training for Non-certified Applicators" video, with a certified supervisor or PERC-certified trainer present) before handling pesticides and repeat it every year; the trainer keeps a training record with the operator name, certification number and expiration date, training date, trainer and course title.
Deadline rule: Must be renewed before the expiration date on the certificate; DEEP emails renewal information beforehand.
