Training, Exams or CEUs for Limited or Restricted Pesticide License Renewal

SPECIAL NOTE:

Starting October 1st, the University of Florida/IFAS extension offices will no longer be the site for pesticide testing. However, we will continue to offer continuing educational units (CEUs) at extension locations. The Florida Department of Consumer Services (FDACS) will be offering testing at various locations throughout the state. Volusia County locations will be forthcoming. What you need to know:

  • You must have a valid, unique email address ready for registration.
    • For individuals, email must be unique and cannot be a shared or group email. Utilizing an email address that already exists in the system for another user, will result in overriding data for the other associated license/certificate.
    • For a business account, there can be a primary and secondary email associated with the account.
  • This email will be used for all correspondence related to your licensure, certification, invoicing, fumigation notice(s), and exam scores.

If you have any urgent inquiries, please feel free to reach out to the FDACS customer support team at AESCares@FDACS.gov .
