To Recertify with 2011 Expiration

If your certification expires December 31, 2011, AND you have attended CIC programs in BOTH 2009–2010 and 2010–2011, you can attend a CIC program between December 2011 and April 15, 2012, or retest.

To Recertify with 2012 Expiration

If your certification expires December 31, 2012, and you have attended a CIC program for 2010–2011, you can attend a CIC program for 2011–2012 and 2012-2013, or retest when your certification expires.

To Recertify with 2013 Expiration

If you wish to recertify by training and not by exam, you must attend a CIC session each year, starting this winter. Remember, you always have the option of taking the exam to recertify.

If you miss one year of CIC programs, Iowa law requires you to retest when your certification expires. The exam is given by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS). Several testing dates near you are listed above. If you score 70 percent or more and pay the $15 fee, you will be certified for 3 years.

TO FIND OUT YOUR CURRENT CERTIFICATION STATUS CALL THE IDALS PESTICIDE BUREAU AT 515-281-8591.

Initial Certification

To become certified initially, you must take the exam offered by IDALS. A Study Guide (PAT 1) is available for purchase at your county extension office.
