DEP’s pesticide control program website was updated over the past few weeks to reflect that
“Based on the current COVID 19 public health emergency, the Department has extended an interim policy allowing 100% online CEUs for remaining credits to accommodate for applicators whose 5-year recertification cycle ends October 31, 2021 and 2022. To verify you are eligible, please click HERE.”
However, there are no longer directions explaining where certified applicators can check the status of their credits and the course histories. Growers requesting this indicate it takes some searching to find it. Here are revised instructions to get you there. You might want to bookmark whichever site below gets to the information you need most directly.
To review course history:
- go to www.pcpnj.org;
- in the bottom section labeled ‘About US’ (NOT the ‘About DEP’ link in the bottom line!), click on “Pesticides” in the list;
- find and click any one of the links marked ‘NJDEP’s Online Reports‘;
- on the DEP DataMiner site, make sure the Report Category says ‘Pesticide Control Program’ (if not, select it from the menu);
- on the list under ‘Pesticide Licensing’ select the appropriate type of license. There are two reports for each that can be searched by either name or license number:
- Applicator Business
- Certified Pesticide Dealers
- Commercial Certified Pesticide Applicators
- Commercial Pesticide Operators
- Pesticide Dealer Information
- Private Certified Pesticide Applicators
- follow instructions to get your course history information. Select your pesticide license # from the menu. You’ll also need your birth date and last 4 digits of your social security #.
