Per our recertification workshop guidelines; if the MDA cannot be present to monitor attendance (at an approved recertification workshop) it will be the responsibility of the sponsor to accurately account for attendance and participation of all the licensed applicators. Enrollment must be open to all licensed applicators except for those events that are governmental agencies for their applicators, or private corporate events for their employees. Industry vendor trainings will not qualify for recertification credit.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recognizes the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) as the state's lead agency responsible for implementation and enforcement of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Minnesota Pesticide Control Law (MPCL). The USEPA and the MDA require specific standards be incorporate into the pesticide applicator recertification workshops. Program agendas for workshops must include these standards.
