Indiana Commercial Pesticide Applicator
Continuing Certification Program
         
The CCH system is a program of continuing certification designed to encourage certified applicators to stay abreast of changes pertinent to their work - and to increase professional competency - while earning the privilege of automatic renewal following the five-year certification period. By utilizing this system, applicators maintain a continuous learning pattern whereby their knowledge is expanded.

Continuing certification credit is acquired by attending various approved conferences, workshops, and other educational programs which address pesticide topics. Click here for a list of approved CCH programs. Click here for the procedure for Category 13.

Programs being submitted for approval must meet specific criteria. Click here for details on how to submit a program for CCH approval.

The number of CCH points needed, in each category, in order to automatically renew a certification is listed below. A certified applicator may obtain no more than half the number of required CCH's at any single program.
