Everything a New York ornamental, shade tree, and turf applicator needs to satisfy their full 10-credit recertification — in one purchase, completely online.
New York requires Category 3A applicators to earn 10 recertification credits over their 3-year cycle, with at least 2.5 of those credits specific to category 3A and the remaining credits made up of 3A or Core. This bundle covers all 10: purpose-built 3A courses on turf insects, ornamental weed and vegetation management, and mosquito control, paired with Core courses that count toward every category. As a commercial applicator, you’re permitted to earn all 10 credits within a single calendar year — so you can complete your entire renewal on your own schedule, without spreading it across multiple years.
Every course is approved by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, narrated for online study, and available on any device. The moment you pass, you can download your certificate, and we submit your completions directly to the DEC on your behalf. No mailing anything in, no tracking down which categories you still need, no assembling credits from multiple providers.
