CERTIFICATION AND TRAINING (C&T) RULE CHANGES
What’s Happening?
The Washington State Department of Agriculture is updating their pesticide rules to meet federal standards set by the 2017 update to EPA's Federal Pesticide Certification and Training (C&T) Rule (40 CFR Part 171). Share the C&T changes with licensees: C&T one page flyer (English-Spanish) [PDF].
What this Means for Licensees
After January 1, 2026, Washington pesticide licensees will need to take a C&T course* to keep their licenses active. *Licensees can choose to take a C&T quiz to fulfill the specialty course requirement. Some licensees will need to take exams, which can be online, to meet the new standards.
Resources below for licensees to stay informed.
