[CED/CD/EAT] Five Continuing Education Course Ideas

[Weber, Jennifer - (jennyweber)]

Hello. We are heading into renewal season for certified agricultural pesticide applicators and Pest Control Advisors, and I've received a couple of emails from people searching for courses to fulfill their CEU requirements. I will gather ideas and notices about upcoming courses to send out through this listserv each week. It certainly won't be a list of every CEU opportunity that exists - just those providers have sent to me and asked me to help promote, plus a few links people have tipped me off to in the past. As the list grows, I will include it as an email attachment.

In the meantime, here are five ideas to get you started:
