How many CEU credits are required for certification renewal, and how must they be categorized?

• A. 12 CEUs: 9 general and 3 category-specific
• B. 10 CEUs: 5 general and 5 category-specific
• C. 15 CEUs: 10 general and 5 category-specific
• D. 12 CEUs: All must be general

Answer: (A)

Continuing education credits keep pesticide applicators up to date on laws, safety, and best practices. For certification renewal in Kentucky, you must complete a total of 12 CEUs. These are divided into 9 general CEUs and 3 category-specific CEUs. The general portion covers broad topics applicable to all applicators, while the category-specific portion ensures you maintain knowledge in the particular category(s) in which you’re certified. Credits cannot all be general; you need the 3 category-specific credits to meet the requirement. Credit totals like 10 or 15, or a plan that has all general credits, don’t meet Kentucky’s renewal rules, and a 5/5 split doesn’t match the required 9 general and 3 category-specific distribution.
