Continuing Education Credits for Pesticide applicators alberta

Our tutorials use engaging presentation techniques to reinforce learning and improve understanding of pesticide use and safety.

These tutorials are for continuing education purposes only and do not prepare participants for certification exams or replace certification requirements. Completion contributes toward earning Continuing Education Credits (CECs).

As this is our first year, we currently offer a limited number of tutorials under Provisional Approval. Each tutorial includes a short survey at the end — your feedback helps us improve and work toward full approval and the ability to offer more CECs.

After our first year of operation, pending approval, we hope to expand our tutorial offerings based on student feedback and requested topics.

🟢 Basic: Designed to reinforce and expand on the foundational concepts found within the Lakeland College Pesticide Applicator Core Manual. These tutorials use engaging presentation techniques, visuals, graphics, and real-world examples to improve understanding and retention of core pesticide safety and application principles.

🔵 Intermediate: Intermediate tutorials explore topics that extend beyond the core manual while remaining practical and relevant to everyday pesticide application, safety, and environmental stewardship.

🔴 Advanced: Advanced tutorials are intended for experienced industry professionals with a strong understanding of pesticide application and management. These tutorials focus on emerging research, scientific studies, advanced concepts, and evolving industry practices.
