- Special Re-Certification: CURRENT FLYER (PDF). Each year the Center offers a few re-certification credits in October for pesticide applicators who need a couple of credits (core and category 8B, 8A, 10 & 11) just before their license expires. The courses are tailored for category credits based upon need following the annual renewal forms distributed through NJDEP Bureau of Pesticide Control in late summer. You can find out now if you'll be needing re-certification credits by logging onto the Bureau's site and clicking on to the Commercial Certified Pesticide Applicators - Specific Information. Please contact Diana Carle at dianacarle@gmail.com as soon as possible with any special requests for category topics - it takes time to get the class approved.
