Once you've clicked the Online Courses button above, you will be taken to PAPA's Online Courses landing page. Here, you can view the Online Courses offered by PAPA. To continue, click the "Continue to PestSchool.com" button.

When you arrive at PestSchool.com, click on "Browse Courses" in the top right corner. Then, you can browse the site. Tip: look for PAPA's logo to locate our courses! Then, click "Preview" to get started with a course. (The free BeeWhere course does not have a preview page, just click the blue "$0.00" button to enroll in that course. You will then be asked to Log In or Register, if you're not already logged in.)

Clicking "Preview" will take you to the preview page for a specific course. On that page, you can click either "Start" or "Purchase Course". If you click "Start", you'll be taken to a preview of the course. This preview is free, but you will have to purchase the course in order to complete it and earn CE credit.

If you click "Purchase Course", you will be asked to Log In or Register, if you're not already logged in.

If you already have a PestSchool.com account, sign in under the "Log In" tab using your PestSchool.com login information. Please note that your papaseminars.com login information will not get you into PestSchool.com, unless you've created a PestSchool.com account with the same email and password you've used on PAPA's website.

If you do not already have a PestSchool.com account, please create one under the "Register" tab. Fields marked with a red asterisk are required. IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ BEFORE CREATING YOUR PESTSCHOOL.COM ACCOUNT: In order to receive DPR credit for your courses, you MUST enter your individual license/certificate number when creating your account. Hours are issued and tracked via your license/certificate number, so this is a vital part of your account information. Do not enter your business license number. The "License/Certificate Number" box is for your individual QAC/QAL/PCA/Pilot/Private Applicator/etc. number, only. Enter your name as it appears on your license/certificate. Using a name other than the one on your license/certificate may cause delays in the issuance of your CE credit. For QAC/QAL/PCA/Pilot holders, enter "CDPR" under "Issuing Authority". Private Applicator Certificates are issued by your County Agricultural Commissioner's office. If you do not possess a license/certificate, then you may leave the "Issuing Authority" and "License/Certificate Number" fields blank, or enter "N/A" and "000000". Not possessing a license/certificate should be the only scenario in which you leave these fields blank or enter "N/A" and "000000"

Once you purchase a course, you have 60 days to complete the course. If you do not complete the course within 60 days, your fee is forfeited and a refund will not be issued.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING A COURSE: You MUST generate your certificate of completion immediately after completing a course in order to receive credit. Generating your certificate is what finalizes the completion of your course and adds your name and license number to the attendance records. To generate your certificate, you will first click the "Finish" button after completing your final quiz with a passing score of at least 70%.

After clicking the "Finish" button you will be prompted to confirm that your name and license number are correct. Please review this carefully before proceeding! If a change needs to be made, click "Make Correction", edit your profile, and then return to the course to finish generating your certificate. Once you are positive that your information is correct on this screen, click the "Confirm" button.

After clicking the "Confirm" button you will be taken to the page seen below. Click the "View" button to generate your certificate. This is the final step – you're now done! Your certificates are stored in your PestSchool.com account under your "My Certificates" tab but we also highly recommend saving all certificates to your computer for your records. Current PAPA members eligible for hours tracking can expect their hours to automatically be reported for tracking. PestSchool.com/PAPA courses will typically appear on your CE report within 2-4 weeks of you completing the course.
