FAREWELL!
A final and heartfelt goodbye goes out to John Dailey, who is retiring from
his position, as Deputy Director of the Structural Pest Control Section, as of
June 30, 201 6. We all wish you a long and enjoyable retirement.
LICENSE/CERTIFICATION RENEWALS MAILED
All license and card renewal forms have been
mailed. If you have not received your renewal
forms by now, something is wrong.
Renewals are sometimes returned, marked
as undeliverable. Licensees and certified
applicators are required to notify the Division of
address changes, within 10 days.
In addition to address changes, some
renewals may get lost in the mail.
If you have not received your renewal forms,
you should contact the Division immediately.
Licensees who fail to renew, and continue to
work after the expiration date of their license,
are in violation of the Structural Pest Control
Law. If your license is placed on inactive status,
you still must renew each year, and maintain your
recertification status, by taking the appropriate
number of CCU’s. Licensees on inactive status are
not sent a license certificate, but will receive a letter
indicating that the license has been renewed. The
last date that licenses and certified applicator cards
can be renewed, without having to take the exam
again, is December 31st.
If you do not receive a letter, after renewal of an
inactive license, you should contact the Division, well
before December 31st, to ensure that the renewal
has been processed.
MAKE SURE YOU GET CREDIT FOR
COURSES YOU HAVE ATTENDED
Several years ago, we quit asking you to list
your Social Security Number on the attendance
roster. We moved to a separate number for each
individual, consisting of License Type (L type)
and File Number (F num). This is found on your
card. The L type differentiates an individual by
the license they hold: a Licensee has the L type
21 , a Certified Applicator has the L type 81 ,
and a Registered Technician has the L type 82.
The F num is an independent number for each
individual. When you fill out an attendance roster,
please print your name (as you find it on your
card), sign your name, and list your L type and F
num as it is on your card. If you don’t know your
L type and F num, it is very important that you
print your name, as it is on your card, as legibly
as possible. If the name on your card is William,
do not put down Will or Bill. If your card has a sir
name such as Sr., Jr. or III, please make sure to
include this with your name. Sometimes, there is
more than one person with the same name, and
you want to make sure that you get credit for the
class that you took.
Make sure you sign each attendance roster.
In some trainings you attend, you may have
different speakers and each speaker has their
own course approval. You must sign each roster
to ensure you get credit for each class. It is also
a good idea to keep a record of the training you
attend with the date and location of the training,
the course ID number, the speakers and topics.
Please go on-line from time to time to check your
CCU’s at http://apps.ncagr.gov/LicenseSearch/.
If you don’t see your class listed, please contact the
trainer and ask that they send the roster to Michelle
Willett at michelle.willett@ncagr.gov. Rosters are
processed as they are received. The website for
transcripts is usually updated the week after the
roster is received.
Some of you may need to take CCU’s on¬
line. Keep in mind that you can only get half of
your required credits on-line. If you are licensed
or certified in one phase, you are required to get 5
credits in the category you are licensed or certified
in and 5 credits in anything else. You could only
get credit for 5 hours of on-line CCU’s. If you are
licensed or certified in two phases, you are required
to get 5 credits in the categories you are licensed or
certified in and 5 credits in anything else, for a total
of 1 5 CCU’s. This means you could only get credit
for 7 hours of on-line CCU’s. Please keep this in
mind as there will be no exception to this policy.
