Every course is FDACS-approved
Course library
Every Pest Education course carries an FDACS approval number and counts toward Chapter 482 renewal. Below they're organized by audience — pick the section that matches your role. Core Florida Pesticide Laws appears in both sections because it satisfies part of the requirement for both certified operators (§482.111) and ID cardholders (§482.091).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
New tech? Florida requires 4 hours of initial training — separate from the annual 2.+
Per Fla. Stat. §482.091(10), a technician's one-time 4-hour initial classroom training must be completed within 6 months after the ID card is issued (or within 2 years before issuance). After that, 2 hours of continuing training each renewal year. Most companies only know about the 2-hour annual — see /technicians for the full breakdown.
When is my renewal due?+
Certified operators renew on the 1-year anniversary of the certificate's issue date (per ch. 2024-137, effective July 1, 2024 — the old June 1 deadline is obsolete). Technicians renew annually on the licensee's anniversary date, set by FDACS per business location.
Does FDACS accept these CEU hours?+
Yes. Pest Education is a registered Florida continuing education provider. Every course carries an FDACS approval number and is accepted toward your license renewal under Chapter 482.
How long do I have to complete a course?+
Once you enroll, the course stays open on your dashboard indefinitely. Florida requires a minimum seat time — the timer tracks your active reading time so you always meet the requirement.
What if I fail the final quiz?+
You can retake the quiz as many times as you need at no extra charge. The passing score is 75%. Your best attempt is recorded.
Do I get a certificate right away?+
The moment you pass, a signed CEU certificate is emailed to you and saved to your dashboard. You can also generate the FDACS-13325 attendance form directly from your dashboard.
Can I use these hours for multiple license categories?+
Each course is approved for a specific FDACS category (e.g., GHP, L&O, Termite/WDO, Fumigation). If you hold licenses in multiple categories, you'll need to complete a course for each category you want to renew.
