UF/IFAS Offers Full Online ‘Library’ of Pesticide CEUs

The University of Florida/IFAS Pesticide Information Office is now offering online continuing education for pesticide applicators and handlers trying to earn annual credits.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The UF/IFAS Pesticide Information Office is now offering online continuing education for pesticide applicators and handlers trying to earn annual credits.

The effort has taken about a year, but the office now has about 30 online courses in its “library” available for pesticide applicators. Applicators and handlers looking to maintain their licenses by earning the CEU credits have often found that classes offered either weren’t convenient for them or were offered far away, said Nathan Whidden, an information coordinator with the Pesticide Information Office.

The online courses were put together by University of Florida professors in collaboration with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
