For recertification of commercial applicators, how many credits in core are required within a five-year period?

To maintain certification as a commercial applicator in New Jersey, recertification requires the accumulation of a specific number of core credits within a five-year period. The correct number of required core credits is set at eight. This emphasizes the importance of continual education and staying updated with the latest practices, regulations, and safety measures in pest management, ensuring that licensed applicators are knowledgeable and compliant with current standards.

While other options suggest different credit totals, they do not align with the established requirements set forth by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for recertification. Therefore, the requirement of eight core credits serves as the benchmark for applicators to maintain their credentials effectively.
