Continuing Certification Units (CCUs) are awarded for attendance at sessions covering certain subject matter taught at the school pending approval by the Structural Pest Control & Pesticides Division. These units may be used to satisfy pesticide re-certification requirements and are awarded at the rate of one CCU for each 50 minutes of approved instruction. A permanent record of your CCU attainment is maintained by the Structural Pest Control & Pesticides Division, NCDA, 1090 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1090. An annual update of your CCU record will be included without charge with your certification or license renewal forms. Extra copies may be ordered at an additional charge. Specify your Social Security number when ordering. In addition, you can verify your credits earned on the SPCD Web site at: http://www.ncagr.com/aspzine/str-pest/Recert/RTsearch.asp.
Sessions that carry CCU credit have met at least one of the following EPA criteria:
1.) Label and labeling comprehension;
2.) Safety;
3.) Environmental factors and consequences of use and misuse of pesticides;
4.) Knowledge of pests;
5.) Knowledge of pesticides and types of formulations, including hazards associated with residues;
6.) Equipment use;
7.) Application techniques;
8.) Applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
While licensees or Certified Applicators (CA) are certified for a five-year period, CCUs cannot be earned all at one time. Licensees and non-commercial applicators must earn some credit in at least four of the five years of the re-certification period. Commercial-certified applicators must earn credits in at least three of the five years.
At the end of the five years, persons certified in one phase must have earned at least 10 CCUs, those with two phases 15 and those with three phases 20. At least five CCUs must be solely applicable to each phase in which certified. As many as five CCUs in the General Category may be counted, but are not required.
