Just a quick reminder that UC IPM offers free online courses that have been approved for DPR continuing education units. So if you have a PCA, QAL, QAC, PA license or certificate (you know who you are) this would be a good opportunity to get those last few units. There is one course that also has Structural Pest Control Board units.

I suggest you take the course before December 20 because if you have any problems with the program or getting a copy of the verification you can get some help. After that, the office pretty much closes up for the winter break until 2016.
If you have problems see this document first.

The course contains:
