Continuing Education for Nutrient Management
Guidelines for continuing education
If you are certified by the Delaware Nutrient Management Program you will need to attend programs that offer continuing education credits to maintain your certification. The number of continuing education credits that you need depends on your level of certification:
| Certification Level | Certification Length | Credits Needed During a Certification Period |
Month Certification Expires |
| Nutrient Generator | 3 years | 6 | May |
| Private Nutrient Handler | 3 years | 6 | May |
| Commercial Nutrient Handler | 3 years | 6 | May |
| Nutrient Consultant | 1 year | 5 | December |
You should know...
- Credits do not carry over from one certification period to the next.
- You can only receive credit for a course once during a certification period.
- Credits are available via traditional face-to-face programs or online.
