Private Pesticide Applicator Recertification Program (PARP) - Any private applicator wishing to buy and use restricted-use pesticides must be certified and possess a current pesticide applicator permit issued by the Office of the Indiana State Chemist (OISC).  Permits are good for 5 years and typically expire on December 31.
The OISC mails renewal information to each current applicator.
To renew the permit, applicators have two options.  Option 1:  Applicators may attend three (3) recertification programs ($10 each) within the five-year license period.  (A maximum of two classes can be credited per year.  One class may be taken online.) At the end of the period, they must complete the permit form and pay a $20 fee to the OISC.  Option 2:  If applicators does not attend three programs, they will need to take and pass the Pesticide Core Exam before the permit will be renewed.  Fees for the Core Exam vary.
