Private Applicator Recertification Program (PARP)
Keeping Your Permit Current:
- Private applicator permits are current for five years. In those five years, you must attend three recertification programs or take the pesticide or fertilizer certification exam to recertify. To help ensure smooth processing this renewal season, we recommend you complete your remaining PARP training as soon as possible. Follow the links below for further information.
