Continuing education for private applicators includes core units and private units in what total?

• A. Four
• B. Eight
• C. Six
• D. Two

Answer: (B)

Continuing education for private applicators combines core topics that cover safety, environmental protection, pesticide laws, and label reading with category-specific (private) topics for the individual practice. Together these parts add up to eight units. The usual breakdown is four core units plus four private units, giving eight total. This ensures both universal safety/regulatory understanding and program-specific skills are kept up to date. Four would leave out essential material, six would miss part of one portion, and two is far too little to cover the required topics, so eight is the correct total.
