Before you proceed, please take a moment to review the following important notes:
1.) Registration and course records are maintained within our electronic database
for the current calendar year only. Registration and course information
for the year will be deleted from our system files on January 1 of
each year. Records will be maintained in permanent files at the TIPMF
office. It, therefore, is necessary for you to register with our system during
each calendar year.
2.) If you have specific questions pertaining to your license requirements and required CEUs, please direct your inquiries to:
Texas Department of Agriculture
Attn: Pesticide Programs Division
PO Box 12847
Austin TX 78711-2847
Telephone: 1-800-835-5832
Only the TDA can provide you with official information that pertains to your particular license and CEU requirements.
3.) Remember: You MUST keep your printed Certificate of Completion for your
own records in order to recertify!
4.) This
"courseware" service is intended for certified or licensed
pesticide applicators. Upon completing a course, you will receive
continuing education units (CEUs) that are recognized by the Texas
Department of Agriculture in fulfillment of renewal requirements for
a pesticide applicator license or certificate.
5.) Current
course offerings cover the topic categories of laws and regulations,
drift minimization, general IPM topics, and integrated pest management (IPM). A charge
of $20 is assessed per CEU credit hour.
6.) The
state sets a limit on the number of CEUs that a pesticide applicator
may obtain via remote means (Internet or other home study). For
private applicators: No more than 10 CEUs per 5-year cycle may be
obtained from TDA-approved home study courses. For commercial and
non commercial applicators: at most, CEUs from TDA-approved home
study may be used to recertify only every other year.
7.) If, at any time, you experience a problem or otherwise have a question about the electronic CEU program maintained by the Texas IPM Foundation, you may contact us at:

Telephone: 512-615-1195
