Florida Chapter 482 Compliance Guide
What CEUs do you need?
Two quick questions. Get your exact requirements, your deadline, and links to the courses that satisfy them.
Step 2 of 2
You need 4 hours of initial training.
Per Fla. Stat. §482.091(10) — completed within 6 months after your ID card is issued (or within 2 years before). Complete your course with Pest Education and we'll remind you ahead of next year's renewal to help you stay compliant.
Regulatory basis
All requirements are grounded in the Florida Statutes and enforced by FDACS Bureau of Entomology and Pest Control. Full text: /chapter-482 • Florida Statutes Ch. 482 (2024) • Rule 5E-14
Effective July 1, 2024 (ch. 2024-137), certified operator certificates renew on the 1-year anniversary of the issue date — the old uniform June 1 deadline no longer applies. All deadlines above are computed from your individual dates, not a hardcoded calendar date.
