There are other ways to earn some quick, last-minute CEUs:

  1. The first option is to find and attend a class offering the CEUs needed (call the Extension Office for information on upcoming classes). Another resource is the State Pesticide Office, their website allows you to search by event location, license category, or sponsoring organization to find any upcoming CEU approved classes. These classes may or may not have a fee associated with event registration.

  2. Another option is to attain CEUs online. The University of Florida offers CEUs in several categories through its website. These CEU modules provide 1 CEU for $25 each with few exceptions.

To schedule an appointment to view our free tutorials to earn CEUs, please call the Extension Office at (850) 342-0187. Keep in mind that 50 minutes is the equivalent of one CEU. When needing multiple CEUs, you have the option of watching the tutorial for several hours and collecting them all at once or you can earn them one at a time over the course of several visits.
