Free Online CEUs Available

Several opportunities exist to obtain Florida Department of Ag and Consumer Services pesticide license Continuing Education Units (CEUs) online. Typically, online CEUs are offered by reading articles on a topic covered in one of the many study manuals for exams. Along with reading the article, participants will have to complete a quiz. A score of 70% or better will be awarded a CEU in the selected category.

Currently, there are two locations for FREE CEUs on line. The first is through Citrus Industry Magazine at citrusindustry.net. Four General CORE Standard CEU articles with quizzes are available all year long for those requiring CORE CEUs. The articles expire after 1 year of being posted. So don't choose the oldest article.
The second is through UF-IFAS Extension Hillsborough County which hosts The Plant Producer Newsletter.  New CEU articles are added on the quarterly basis in the categories of Private Applicator and General CORE Standards. Access to The Plant Producer CEU articles is at http://hillsborough.ifas.ufl.edu/ornamental_production/CEUs.shtml.
