✅ Who Should Take This Course?

Written for holders of the Florida Limited Certification for Commercial Landscape Maintenance Personnel (LC) under s. 482.156, F.S., including:

• LC certificate holders who need their 4 annual CEUs (2 Core + 2 category) before their anniversary date
• Landscape crew members and leaders who apply herbicides to weeds in plant beds, driveways, sidewalks, and patios
• Landscape technicians who perform IPM on ornamentals with no-signal-word or CAUTION insecticides and fungicides
• Landscape company owners, supervisors, grounds crews, and HOA or property staff who hold the LC certification

Not intended for certified operators or Limited Lawn & Ornamental (LL) holders, who need category hours in their own categories (see Other Related Courses).

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

Once FDACS approval is posted, this 4-CEU program is designed to satisfy the complete annual CE requirement for an LC certificate: 2 hours of Core (legislation, safety, pesticide labeling, and IPM) and 2 hours of Limited Landscape Maintenance.

It does not provide category hours for Lawn & Ornamental, General Household Pest, Termite/WDO, or Fumigation, and it does not replace the initial LC examination, proof of insurance, or the recertification fee. Until approval is posted here, do not rely on it for CE credit.

✅ Florida LC Continuing Education and Renewal Requirements

The LC certification is issued by FDACS under s. 482.156, F.S. (as amended in 2024 and 2025). It is a one-year certificate renewed with CE, a recertification fee, and proof of insurance; the initial examination is a one-time requirement.

• Certificate term: 1 year from issuance; renewal due on or before the anniversary date
• CE per renewal: 4 classroom hours – 2 Core (legislation, safety, pesticide labeling, IPM) + 2 Limited Landscape Maintenance
• Format: FDACS-approved CEU programs, including online self-paced programs (1 CEU = 50 minutes; exam of 15+ questions, 75% to pass)
• Reporting: the provider enters your attendance in the FDACS CEU database within two weeks
• Fee: recertification fee set by FDACS rule within the statutory range of $25 to $75
• Late renewal: grace period of no more than 30 days, then a $50 late charge; after 60 days, re-examination is required
• Insurance: proof of the insurance required for initial certification accompanies each renewal

Scope: herbicides on weeds in plant beds, driveways, sidewalks, and patios, and integrated pest management on ornamental plants with no-signal-word or CAUTION pesticides, using portable handheld equipment or backpack sprayers only. No power equipment, no WARNING or DANGER products, no turf, and no operating a pest control business.

How this course helps: This program provides 4 CEUs – 2 Core + 2 Limited Landscape Maintenance. For an LC certificate holder, that is the complete 4-hour annual CE requirement once FDACS approval is posted; no CE hours remain. You still submit the renewal, pay the fee, and provide proof of insurance.

✅ When Do LC Certificate Holders Renew?

Every year. The certificate expires one year after issuance, and the renewal application is due on or before that anniversary date. Because the application must include proof of the 4 CE hours, finish your CE – and allow time for it to reach the FDACS CEU database – before you submit. A grace period of no more than 30 days follows, with a $50 late charge; after 60 days, re-examination is required.

✅ How to Renew Your LC Certification

1. Check your record. Confirm your anniversary date and CEUs on file with the Earned CEU Search on the FDACS AES Licensing Portal.
2. Complete the 4 hours. Finish 2 Core + 2 category hours in an FDACS-approved program (this course, once approved), pass the exams, and keep your Record of Attendance.
3. Allow reporting time. 1st Choice CE enters your attendance in the FDACS CEU database within two weeks; verify it before you renew.
4. Gather proof of insurance. Obtain a current certificate of insurance meeting the financial-responsibility amounts under s. 482.071(4), F.S.
5. Submit the recertification application. Renew through the FDACS AES Licensing Portal (aeslicensing.fdacs.gov) or as directed in your renewal notice, with CE proof and your insurance certificate.
6. Pay the fee and verify. Pay the recertification fee (plus the $50 late charge if late), save the receipt, and confirm the new expiration date.
